Kennedy Space Center

Fifth day in Orlando. It was a bright beautiful late morning. We arrived at Kennedy Space Center, about one hour drive from the hotel where we stayed at. I have read many good review about this place and everyone was excited about going here.

The lines to get the ticket were short but moving slowly, everyone seemed to take a few minutes to get the admission tickets and tour packages available. The basic admission fee is $36 for 12 years and above. The group in front of us with only one kid that qualified with the look of 11 years old got themselves four kid tickets that costs $26 each. Hmmm.... We bought four adult tickets with the damage of more than $160 after tax, the older lady behind us asked how old my little girl was.
She’s 12, I said.
She can easily be passed as 11...., she said.
Yes... the ticket is hefty!!!??? I know what you mean!



I did not care so much about coming to KSC, but I was very curious about it. I knew the importance of visiting the place and the lessons that we could learn from the place were worth the try. For a start, we joined the tour bus that took us to three different stops or more things to see. The total hours that we spent until we were back to the starting point was about three hours. I must admit that the place was becoming more interesting as the tour progressed, we all learned many new things today.

By the time we were back at the starting point we still had so much to do, but first we fed the very hungry man with us. Then we watched one of the movies in their IMAX theatre narrated by Tom Cruise.

Of course, we dropped by at the gift shop as well, they had lots of interesting stuff.

By then, it was nearly four o’clock. We made a quick tour around the place but had to miss another movie narrated by Tom Hanks. The sky was getting darker and we needed to rush back to our car and head back to Orlando

We parked our car quite far from the entrance and we had to run for our life as the rain started to fall when we got out of the building.



On the way back, we were caught in an extremely heavy rain that forced us to pull out by the side road along with many other cars for our safety and everyone's safely. It rained every afternoon when we were in Orlando this time, I certainly didn't expect that. It was nice and sunny when we came here in December. Ha!
