PORT CANAVERAL: Best view to see the Port and Cape Canaveral. It's a museum offering information and interactive gadgets for all important sights and important players at the port and in the area - KSC, harbor pilots (don't miss to play the game driving a pilot boat! Interesting fact: The avatar explaining the Pilot Job is Brendan, my husband :-D.) Try to see a rocket launch from the rooftop - great experience.
