Make a trip of it

Space Shuttle Atlantis, the Rocket Garden and the Saturn V. Plan a full day between tournament weekends.

Close to the complex. Kayak through the Africa exhibit or feed the giraffes. An easy morning before late games.

The Viera Wetlands. Flat loop roads, alligators and some of the best birding in Florida.

The complex is about 13 air miles from the Cape Canaveral launch pads. On launch days you can often watch the rocket climb from the bleachers. Check the schedule before your trip.

Classic Space Coast pier with restaurants and surf. A good team spot after a Saturday doubleheader.

Shops, restaurants and a movie theater a few minutes from the gates. The easiest team dinner nearby.

Beach and fishing pier at Port Canaveral with a front-row view of cruise ships and launches.

Seven-story observation tower at Port Canaveral with exhibits on the port and the space program.

Black Point Wildlife Drive and manatee viewing, right next to the launch pads.

Waterfront seafood at Port Canaveral. Call ahead for large team groups.
