The Solo Scale:

---

Central Florida is theme park central, but on the East Coast, you can immerse yourself in a whole different kind of entertainment. That’s at the Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral. It’s the site of many space launches throughout history and still in use today. Of course, today it’s predominantly used by private companies, but space travel is still fascinating even if the game’s changed.

When you’re there, not only will you get to see remnants of the past, but you’ll be able to see SpaceX and other companies that are using Canaveral’s facilities today. This means getting to see the grooves in the dirt from them moving the spacecraft to the launch site.

Kennedy’s proximity to the theme parks of Orlando makes itself known when you’re there in the way they operate. You’ll notice that lines and pre-shows are structured as if you’re still in central Florida’s theme parks. While you may not be about to get on a dark ride, you’ll feel the light touch of a theme park throughout your visit, but in a good way as they’ve clearly taken lessons in entertaining their guests.

Some of the highlights of your visit might include:

• Rocket Garden
• Astronaut Hall of Fame
• Race to the Moon with a highlight of the recording of the landing + how it almost all went wrong
• Space Shuttle Atlantis
• “Behind the Gates” – tour of the premises

If you really want to see a launch, the website has a countdown to their next launch. That means you can time your visit to align with that for a truly unique experience that not many can claim to have witnessed this closely.
