Being able to visit the various locations around the property was a massive bonus. Standing on such historic ground was both humbling and awe inspiring. Seeing the photos of all those who have made the grade as astronauts, and for most of them something they aspired to all of their lives, was inspiring. To me the idea that we are explorers venturing out into the new place that is space, epitomizes what the human race has always done. And the space shuttle is not the end of that journey, just another extraordinary phase of it.

The Kennedy Space Center was a brilliant experience. Heaout made it so easy to organise transportation and tickets for the day, Headout ticket prices were lower than on the gate prices too which was perfect for us on a budget.
