We did the Lighthouse & Spaceflight Tour. What a great way to go back to the early days of the space program and to the future! ! It was an awesome tour which was made that more special by both Shelly and Laura! Their enthusiasm and knowledge made it that more special, but it was their passion of what they do and sharing their knowledge that left an impression on all of us! Shelly and Laura are just super awesome! In fact, both my son and his girlfriend started reading about the earlier launches to learn more about the launches that Shelly and Laura talked about. We enjoyed the visit at the blockhouse. Highly recommend taking this tour and make sure these 2 ladies are your tour guides!

Williams Blueberry Farm

Perfect place for an outdoor adventure. The people running the farm were amazing, took time to explain everything, help us out, even offered water. I would recommend to everyone wanting to be outside! Prices were great and blueberries were yummy!

Cocoa Village

Reviewed By Feelin_Irie - Virginia, United States

In all of the years that we've gone to Cocoa Beach, we've never gone to Cocoa Village. This trip we fixed that, and we loved it! So many little shops, bars, and restaurants. We'll be frequent visitors from now on!

Rikki Tiki Tavern

Located at the end of the 800-foot long Pier, directly over the ocean, is the Rikki Tiki Tavern featuring spectacular ocean views, open-aired seating and all of your favorite specialty drink concoctions. Cool off in the shade and enjoy the salty ocean breeze while sipping on a refreshing tropical drink at our Cocoa Beach Pier bar. Watch the local fishermen and surfers of Cocoa Beach catch a big one! Enjoy the Original Pieradise with fresh, tropical flavors like pineapple, orange and banana or try a fun twist on a traditional Pina Colada with the Cocoa Set Sail including Puerto Rican spiced rum and blue curacao. With a full bar selection and the best views in town, there's no better place to be!

We took a nice drive from Orlando and Disney fun to the beach for the day. We were able to park on the street, which cost less than in a pay to park lot and then walked over to the pier where we enjoyed lunch here. The views are amazing, it was a clear warm sunny day and the birds and people were fun to watch, we enjoyed a couple of drinks and a good sized Grouper Sandwich, it was fresh, thick and perfectly cooked. Then we walked down to the water and splashed around. Cocoa Beach was a great side trip

A 7 story attraction full of exhibits and interactive displays.

Reviewed By pujah158

A great little stop to spend a couple hours climbing the tower and learning about the area's wildlife and space exploration. Very inexpensive and funds go toward the wildlife preservation. Check it out if you get the chance!

Wonderful hidden gem - magnificent statues, great words of wisdom, and overall Zen vibe (of course!). Great gift shop - happy to support the center and local merchants (nice soaps). Looking forward to returning on a Sunday for a vegetarian market.
