Cocoa Beach Things to Do

I was really impressed with this "ride" . You sit is a space ship type vehicle and you are wisked along in a breathtaking fashion back in time to Ancient Eqypt. Will this be our travel method in the future????

This is a very interesting place to get an understanding of the history of space travel . With the help of video and displays you are led through the years of man's travel into Space. There are lots of interesing exhibits that will keep all ages entertained. If you are luckey eniugh to be there during a space launch fo the price of a $17.00 ticket you will also get to see a the lauch from the viewing area here , just 6 miles from the launch pad.

Every now and then there is a chance to see Space Launch . We drove here from Englewood in hopes of seeing our first launch . Unfortunately the Launch was cancelled at the last minute due to tecnical problems . We had tickets for the Space Suttle Discovery STS 119 . There are various opportunities to see a launch around the Cocoa Beach area. We had planned to see it from the Astronaut Hall of Fame , but you could also see it from almost anywhere in the area.
If you are planning on being in the area , check ahead to see if there is a launch scheduled.

Going parasailing has been on my bucket list for years. I finally got the chance to do it last summer with Cocoa Beach Parasail and absolutely loved it. Though a bit hesitant in the beginning my grandkids talked me into doing the highest flight they offer. The 800ft. I'm glad I did because since I was up higher I got to see the Kennedy Space Center and more of the coast. We also got to dolphins below us. I thought it was going to be scary but it was actually very relaxing and just plain beautiful. Captain Rusty and his mate did a great job on board. Made everyone feel very at ease. They even played great music. Nothing like listening to Jimmy Buffet while having the time of your life. I would highly recommend putting this on your list of things to do while in the Space Coast.
