Right up the road there is a new attraction called the Exploration Tower - it is a 7 story building that goes over the different things that make the port area special. It is extremely affordable and very educational.
On the top floor you can see all the way to the vehicle assembly building at the Kennedy space center.
The 6th floor was all about the NASA program -
The 5th floor was about the port itself and the cruise ships - you can even play a game where you have to bring the ship into port.
The 4th floor has a private viewing area for space launches and events.
The 3rd floor had interactive exhibits and a movie about the area
The second floor discussed the principles of science in play in the area and a giant exhibit made out of all recycled items.
The first floor is the lobby and the gift shop.
