Best places: Science museums in United States

👍 Great experience at the Kennedy Space Center! This is located at the northeast corner of the Kennedy Space Visitor complex. It is just north of the bus drop-off and east of the outdoor memorial. It is hard to miss since it has the Space shuttle External tank and solid rocket boosters standing outsid...

👍👍 The staff here are THE BEST!!!! This is hands down the neatest museum I have EVER been too!! I don't want to post too much and ruin it but if you have the chance to visit you will NOT be disappointed! Absolutely amazing!!
