About one hour from Orlando, on Florida’s Space Coast, Kennedy Space Center’s admission price is daunting ($50 for adults, $40 for children), but visitors can spend a full day viewing the Space Shuttle Atlantis and rockets in their own pavilions and the Rocket Garden, trying the flight simulator Space Shuttle Launch Experience and more. The Astronaut Encounter program lets you talk with actual astronauts, and how often does that happen? This November, a new section called Heroes and Legends will open, featuring the U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame.
