What to do in Port Canaveral Florida?!

[dez61089]

Hi everyone! Cruising on the Carnival Splendor March 25th-April 2nd! Our first stop will be Port Canaveral Florida. I know it's close to Orlando and the Kennedy Space Center is around there. Was hoping someone might have some other suggestions on what to do. Thanks!

If you haven't been, I would recommend Kennedy Space Center.

You need to go up to the top of the page and go to the main board forums. They have a Port of Calls forum and you can research from there.

We had a local friend pick us up and take us to SeaWorld. Had a great day

 

Others in our group went to the KSC, and others went to Ron Jon's Beach something.

The space center is pretty cool, although had gotten expensive over the past few years. There is parasailing, scooter rentals and a speedboat cruiser thing. Orlando is close, but with the expense getting into the parks and the time with the commute, it wouldn't be worth it.

We rented a car and went to Downtown Disney, which is a free shopping area. Different activities there have fees, but we just wandered around, did some shopping, and had lunch. It has a Legoland store with some amazing lifesize Lego displays that are very impressive. There's also a DisneyQuest indoor arcade thing that is huge, but pretty pricey (we didn't do that).

There is plenty to do in Cocoa Beach....check out the local tourism websites.

There is a wildlife refuge around the Space center. When we cruised out of Port Canaveral we rented a car and drove around when we stayed a few days. We saw Manatees, Alligators and even a pair of bobcats along with tons of birds. The Space center is always a good bet also. Cocoa beach and the attractions there are close to the port.... so what ever you choose to do. There is however nothing within walking distance that I can remember. Have a great cruise.

I am hoping to get on that exact cruise. Waiting for hubby yo get the vacation days. Still waiting. I was also waiting to see if I won a $1500 gift card to Carnival. I didn't win :o(

 

But still waiting for husband's schedule.

 

I am thinking of just going to cocoa beach and puttering around.

YES ... if a mile plus is within your range

Daytona is only 1 plus hours away. If u are renting a car,the race track is there, they have tours and a museum. Where else can u drive on the the beach for miles.
