I love going to KSC. The tour they do of the old launch complexes out at the old part of the Cape is excellent. The guides all know everything about the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo programs, and you get to go to (among other places) the Freedom 7 launch pad and the one where the Apollo 1 fire happened (an amazingly moving experience).
And there's nothing like coming into the room where the Saturn V is and looking up...up...up. George actually took a picture lying on his back on the floor under the rocket end, just to try to show the scale of the thing.
