As an adult for the price ($6.50), its great. Lots of details that I probably missed. The giant touch screen table looked really cool with lots of info. Nice views from the observation deck. Could benefit from a few more binoculars. Maybe some facing towards inland Florida and not just the port/coast. I had my two kids (4 & 6). They liked the boat driving simulator. Wasnt a whole lot of other things to keep them interested for more than a split second. Some more hands on exhibits would be nice. But again for the price, I was happy.

We were there for the July fireworks events with a group of 11 people. We all have VIP tickets. It was disappointing. They provide self serve snack but no staff to maintain it so it was very messy. The tower is very far from the actual fireworks and it doesnt turned off the lights for the show. The balcony space was also small and very crowded. The kids couldnt see anything behind the adults...we left.

A fine array of exhibits and an excellent view from the observation deck, but I really must complement the people who make this place run. They went above and beyond with their service to make sure that our visit was memorable. If you plant to host an event here, I think you are in for real treat and the people at this facility truly care about their visitors.

If you like to learn about History this is a very nice quite place to take your time touring the exhibits and watching the documentary about Cape Canaveral. The best part is the view of the port at the top. They have a small cafe, gift shop and well kept restrooms. Close to restaurants and other activities.

Nice view from the top. Kinda industrial setting around the area with the cruise ship port, but still very nice. The building is phenomenally clean. Everything looks new. Very entertaining. I just wish I started my vacation there instead of ending it there. It would have given me some more ideas for things to do.

People are intrigued by the unusual shape of the building but are fascinated by the exhibits inside. The various floors highlight the different aspects of the Space Coast. Dont miss the observation deck! Amazing views of Cape Canaveral, Kennedy Space Center, the Port of Canaveral, The Lagoon and the Ocean.

Worth going once. Cheap to go in, order tickets online to save money. We went for a rocket launch so it was $15 but had a great view, otherwise regular admission online was $5. Great views of the port if you want to see cruise ships and stuff. Very small exhibit that gives the history of the area.

Great educational, but fun place to bring friends. Being so high up you have a great view of the port and the cruise ships. While we were there, a summer storm rolled in. What a sight!! I enjoyed each floor had different learning. Ill bring my next set of visitors here. Fun!! Fun!!

Excellent exhibits and and unique displays.We drove past it several times wondering what the tower was. Went in to view rocket lift-off and dicovered a perfect spot to view the launch and the rockets return to earth. And, a unique gift shop with stained glass souvenirs.

We love the Exploration Tower in Port Canaveral! Totally worth the $4 to go lookout on the top floor and see down the beach and over the water. Its a great place to take out of area friends when they come visit! It looks amazing at night too!

Craig Vander Galien

Great views of the space coast! The tower has excellent entertainment and history as you move toward the top which has an excellent view of the port and surrounding area. I didnt realize how cool Port Canaveral was until I went here.

Nice place to visit if you are in the area. They advertise "clear view" on the rocket lunch, which is not true. There are two silos on the line of sight which block you from seeing the launch pad. One star removed because of that.

This place is awesome! I think it was like $11 per person to view the tower and was well worth it.... the top had to be my favorite but it is FULL of lots of great things for the kids. A gift shop and even fun history

New landmark at Port Canaveral. Small gift shop and cafe on first floor. Has some interesting activities in upper floors (paid entrance) as well as an awesome upper floor terrace access (paid as well)

Fred Pineau

The exploration tower is a great place two spend two hours viewing the port, learning its history, and navigating a simulated ship. It is entertaining and educational for the whole family.

Karen Pearce

WOW!! Awesome experience. Knowledgeable staff of the area and local space program. Super friendly. She even remembered us when we returned the next day. Just wish I remembered her name.

Brian Baker

Went to a couple of private classes on the 5th floor and loved the view! The whole building is very well kept. I love the ambient effects in the stairwell and the view from the roof!

Jennifer Manhave

So much to look at! Interactive and fun. There are games. The view is really nice. Its rather low on space(lol) so go on a slow day unless you dont mind crowds. We went in a Thursday.

Maxime ROBERT

The view from this tower is amazing ! Just like the architecture itself. I think its nice to start with that tower, then visit the air force museum and go to nasa visitor center.

Miami Vain

Very amazing place well kept and decent and fun activities to go and do for the whole family loads of fun and teaches you about the local history about the brevard county area

Me encanta hermosa vista y muy instructivo, bueno para todas las edades

Keith Closson

Great afternoon activity in Cape Canaveral. Tons of information about the area, and a bit of NASA history too. Fairly priced and awesome 360 degree view of the area.

David Dwyer

Had a blast learning about the history of the port. Only downside was that my 4 and 6 year olds didnt have patience to let the adults read all of the awesome stuff.

Joshua Lee

Suprisingly fun! The Good: Nominal fee Great views! Clean, orderly, surprising amount of content The Bad: Observation deck isnt protected from rain or lightning.

Murfam Post

The views are over many different areas of life, art and adventure. Inside, the museum is a wonder, must see when on a cruise or visiting in town.

Barry Behrmann II

A lot of good information about the port and a great view of it. We got to see one of the returned SpaceX rockets after its successful landing.

Gus Garcia

We had a nice visit. The Tower is well worth the minimal cost to go into. The exhibits are good. The observation deck has a very good view.

Melissa Hogarth

Well maintained and great little film on the history of Cape Canaveral and surrounding area. Enjoyed very much. Good views!

jose jimenez

Good views, super clean restrooms, every floor has something you can learn from, 3rd floor presentation is a must view....

Carol Sue Zinn Oz

Great place to go when its hot out and its a bargain. If you order your tickets online you might get in a bit cheaper.
