We took our kids when they were aged 8 & 6. My youngest (a girl) enjoyed the day out but not quite so much as her elder brother. My arm was twisted into going by my DH and I wasn't really looking forward to it much but is was a brilliant day out.

The best bit for us was taking the bus tour out to the different areas of the space center. You can go up an observation platform and look over all the launch pads. But probably the most incredible sight is Saturn 5. The sheer size of it is amazing. The 3d films in the Imax theatres are good too. We saw a film all about the International Space Station.

We spent a day there but to see everything you would probably need 2 days. We ate in the cafe there (can't remember what it was called) but the food was quite good from what I remember and kid friendly! There is also very little shade at KSC so take plenty of sun cream and a hat!

I really wasn't bothered about going until I read a blog that people we rent from did on KSC. After that we decided to go and had a great day. It was interesting and it gave us a sense of what we as American people have achieved. I'm very glad we went and would recommend it.
