Dear all, just wondering whether anyone here had any experience about this before..
On the last day of our trip (the cruise will come back on 7/24 @ 6:30am, and I expect that we could be really got off the ship at around 8am based on other people's reports), I'm thinking about having a quick side trip to Kennedy Space Center (about 30 mins drive from Port Canaveral) and our flight will depart at 5pm. As it's a domestic flight, I guess if we arrive at the MCO airport at around 4pm that should be fine, giving the Kennedy Center is around 1 hour drive from MCO airport, so that give us maybe from 9am to 2:30pm couple of hours to tour around @ Kennedy Center. Couple of questions:
1. Do we really need to buy "admission" tickets to go into Kennedy Center? Would we still be able to see rockets, etc. without buying the tickets? It seems that the tickets are quite expensive, and we really don't have a lot of time at the center
2. Other then Kennedy Center, for a day drip (from 9am to 2pm), is there any other options near Port Canaveral?
We are a group of 5, with one 76 yrs old (my dad), my mom (67 yrs), my wife, me, and my daughter (6 yrs old)... Would they enjoy Kennedy center as much as I would? (I'm a big space fan)
Thanks!
