We took several trips to KSC during the past year. It is a place that everyone should try to see at least once. During the year we were able to get add on tours to the Vehicle Assembly Building and the Launch Sites. In addition, we were able to get to the new Atlantis exhibition.
If you do go then make sure that you bring a lunch. Getting food on site is expensive and a long wait.
