The tour is conducted by retired employees of the old Cape Canaveral launch sites. All baby boomers should take the tour (my wife was bored though). I would not take children on this tour - the glitzy Kennedy Space Center is for that. Seeing where the three Apollo astronauts died was sobering. We loved the stories the docent told.

To see the Cape Canaveral Lighthouse you must sign up for a tour with Patrick Air Force Base. It's located on the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station and the free tours are now given twice a week on Wednesday and Thursdays. The tour is well worth you time. The interior of the lighthouse consists of 2 rooms: one on the...

The tour was fascinating, lead by a retired engineer who had worked at CCAF in the 50s and 60s he was entertaining and informative. The history was great; the three hours sped by. Probably would be boring for young children (no animation, 3d experiences, etc). We plan on taking visitors again in March. Have to book ahead, the tour quickly...

Saw some interesting sites that have truly become part of space history, including the launch pads for the Mercury and Apollo missions. Our host was an Air Force wildlife biologist who explained the Air Force's efforts to protect the scrub jay and turtle nesting habitats which...

We were staying in Orlando and our plan was to take the tour in the morning and visit cocoa beach in the afternoon. We did not make a reservation and were very fortunate that three people...

My wife & I vacationed in Cocoa Beach this August photographing the local wildlife and attractions. We heard of a the Cape Canaveral Lighthouse and had to include this our portfolio, the problem was the lighthouse is on the active Cape Canaveral AFB. After an exhausting internet search I made contact with the Public Affairs Office of the 45th Space...

A free 3-hour tour by shuttle bus. You are taken on a guided tour of many of the launch pads on the Air Force base. (Note, this does not include launch pads 39A and 39B which were used for the Shuttle launches. Those are owned by NASA and are on Kennedy Space Center property.) This does include the launch pads...
