Although the Space Center has an Amusement Park type feel, the Center does a fantastic job of explaining the Space Program and it’s history. And I was most impressed that it  honored the people who have made Space Travel possible. There are approximately  1.7 million visitors a year and it’s one of Florida highest rated attractions.
