Cape Kennedy

[VMS]

We are taking our first Cruise on the Wonder for 4 nights next March. We wanted to spend time at Cape Kennedy after we got off the cruise. We were thinking of spending the rest of the day Thursday and some of Friday. Our children at the time will be 13, 10 and 7. Have any of you out there done this, and do you think this is a good amount of time? Where do you think we should stay? Any advice is welcome.

Hi VMS.

Where do you think we should stay?

The first time I took my son to the Kennedy Space Center we stayed in Cocoa Beach. I think I'd recommend the Radisson now which is located in Port Canaveral. A good location for any pre-cruise lodging as well as your post-cruise itinerary...

Plan for <i>at least</i> 1/2 day at KSC. Last time we took the kids and did the bus tour spent about 7 hours total. Although you cannot go to Vehicle Assembly Building and Space Station Assembly area (post 9/11), they do throw in 2 IMAX movies you used to have to pay for. Here are some links:
