For a smaller airport, this museum boasts a fine collection of restored military aircraft from the U.S. and other nations. Many of them are still in flying condition and we arrived just after a WWII B-25 had flown that day. Timing is everything. The staff and docents were extremely knowledgeable and instructive. Amazing to see one of the ONLY P-82 fighter aircraft from the WWII. This is a pair of P-51 Mustangs assembled together in a twin fuselage configuration. The museum does not sit on a major highway, but just follow the signs, as it is well worth the visit.

SUP Eco Adventures

We start our tours with a short instruction session on shore, then work with you while out on the water to ensure you are getting the most out of your experience. We provide bottled water, a small snack and take lots of digital photos while we are out on the water. We modify our routes to account for wind conditions and where we've been seeing wildlife. We paddle in the mangroves off the main Indian River Lagoon, which provides us with rich wildlife and bird sightings. We never guarantee manatee or dolphins will be in our area, since they are wild animals. But, we try to go to areas where we have seen them in the past few days. We launch from a privately owned boat ramp off of A1A and Old Florida Trail rd. The launch facility has bathrooms, plenty of parking and is well maintained. In addition, the facility is listed as a Florida Historical Site.

American Space Museum & Space Walk of Fame

TOURS LIMITED TO 10, 12 & 2 DAILY BECAUSE OF COVID - RESERVATIONS RECOMMENDED! www.spacewalkoffame.com/book A museum dedicated to the Space Workers of the Canaveral Spaceport who built the rockets and launch pads that allowed the US to reach the Moon, and send probes to the outer planets. Many of the artifacts in the museum are simply on "long term loan" by those now retired space workers. We keep things exciting and personal with the opportunity to talk with people who worked there and to see what is new and coming in the American Space Program.

Reviewed By treeface - Ambler, United States

This museum in Titusville is an absolute "must see." It is much larger inside than it would appear from the outside, so give yourself a couple of hours to see it. The volunteer docents are retired NASA employees who can give you an amazing tour and answer every question with their first hand knowledge. The museum has the original launch consoles and artifacts from the Mercury, Gemini, Apollo and Shuttle programs, including a tire from a space shuttle. Many of the artifacts were being thrown out by NASA and were saved by the people now volunteering at this museum because they knew the significance of these items. There is also an interactive area for kids and a nice gift shop. It is open Monday-Saturday from 10:00 am - 5:00 pm and offers a senior and a military discount (with ID).

We do our tours strictly by reservation so you don't have to stand in line or wait for enough people to show up to fill the boat!
