Founded in the 1977, The Valiant Air Command Warbird Museum has a continually growing collection of over 45 historic warbirds from the beginnings of aviation to the present day. The VAC is a 501(3)c educational organization dedicated to the preservation of, education about and commemoration of Warbirds from all eras and the men and women who flew, maintained and fought in them.
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.

If you are in the Titusville/NASA/Kennedy Space Center area and you appreciate local history, take some time to visit the Pritchard House in downtown Titusville. Built in 1891, the local historic society has restored it to its original stature. Call ahead for a reservation for a private group tour. Ask for docent Sandi as she is a local resident who is so knowledgeable, interesting, and charming. She will spend at least an hour with you, provides insights, and answer questions. You walk throughout the two story house on tour, and visit the gardens on your own.

Explore the world of animals at Brevard Zoo, an internationally accredited facility home to giraffe, rhinos, big cats and hundreds of colorful parrots. Interactive experiences include giraffe and bird feedings, a children's water play area and kayaking around animal habitats.
My wife and I sited the Brevard zoo with our two granddaughters and their parents. And I have to say everyone had a GREAT time from the youngest (2 years old) to The oldest (67years old). It is hard to capture all the things we saw! There were whole sections we didn't even get to. This zoo is vast for a venue that was originally a community development built by local volunteers. The Africa section with the rhinos and feeding the giraffe was a huge hit. The lorikeet experience of hand feeding the birds had the girls speechless. They could hardly believe it as three lorikeets landed on mommy's arm and ate nectar from the cup. A must see for everyone! The train ride allows you to cool off and see some of the back areas with camels and Oryx and ostrich. The paws on splash pad must be last with the little ones, because you can never get the to leave. We never even got to kayaking or tree top treck. As far as favorites i would say the girls liked the meerkats and The jaguar. They laughed endlessly at the playful meerkats. At the jaguar, the four year old sat down by the window just as the older male walked over and sat down right in front of her and started to roar for several minutes. Our granddaughter was convinced the jaguar was talking to her. The zoo was a massive hit with everyone young and old !!! We will be back several times yearly now that we have experienced the fun!

Great place to go for a nature walk. Lots of different trails and spots to enjoy the nature. There are boardwalks and dirt paths. Very scenic.

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!

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

We used to visit here a lot but then haven’t been for about 10 years. It’s a great place to park but it fills very quickly this visit we were about to leave and found a space. There are picnic tables, children’s play areas, rest rooms and beach access.
