Travel Back in Time

Buckle up, because we're heading back to the swinging '60s when NASA was racing to put humans on the moon. That's when the Kennedy Space Center was born, right here in sunny Florida. Named after the 35th U.S. president, John F. Kennedy, this massive complex has seen it all - from rocket launches to spacewalks, and it's been the launchpad for some of the coolest missions in space history.

Atlantis: The Ultimate Space Celeb

Now, let's talk about the rockstar of the Kennedy Space Center – the Space Shuttle Atlantis! This bad boy flew an impressive 33 missions, including trips to the International Space Station and a jaw-dropping repair job on the Hubble Space Telescope. Imagine cruising through the cosmos with that shuttle!

But here's the kicker: Atlantis isn't retired to some dusty hangar. Oh no, it's on display at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex. You can get right up close and personal with this space legend. Stand in awe of its size and imagine yourself floating among the stars on its back. It's a must-see for anyone who's ever looked up at the night sky and wondered, "What's out there?"

LEGO: Where Space Meets Playtime

Now, here's a surprise twist! Amid all the serious space stuff, there's a bit of LEGO magic at the Kennedy Space Center. LEGO models pop up to celebrate the awesome people who make space dreams come true. You'll find tiny LEGO astronauts suited up in their orange gear, mission control teams hard at work, and even miniature launchpads. It's like the coolest space-themed LEGO set come to life!
