Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex
Houston, we have an attraction. It was perhaps inevitable that, considering its proximity to Orlando, the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex would have to come up with a ride, and thus Shuttle Launch Experience officially achieved lift-off. Reaching a top 'speed' of 17,500mph - vertically - this spookily realistic simulator ride was designed by an astronaut to feel just like taking off in a space shuttle but without all the teary goodbyes.

Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge
You'll have a better chance of seeing something in the sky at the 140,000-acre Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, one of the country's best birding spots, especially from October to May (early morning and after 4pm). More endangered and threatened species of wildlife inhabit the swamps, marshes and hardwood hammocks here than at any other site in the continental US.

Black Point Wildlife Dive and Village Outfitters
The best viewing is on Black Point Wildlife Drive, and Village Outfitters , which offers kayak tours for groups of four or more. Be aware that the refuge closes in the days preceding a launch.
