sddbb Posted October 31, 2015 #1 Share Posted October 31, 2015 What is the best way? We don't want to join the ship's excursion(will be on ncl breakaway in November) but also not sure about riding on a taxi without car seats. Best option will be a shuttle type of transportation - does anyone have recommendations or suggestions? We would like to be there for about 3 hours or so only and our ship arrives at noon.

Birder1 Posted October 31, 2015 #2 Share Posted October 31, 2015 (edited) I retired from NASA (Kennedy Space Center). That said, I haven't visited the Visitor's Center that frequently. However, the bus tours (only depart when bus is full, so a wait is likely) can be 2 hrs in duration (&, you're a captive audience...I.e., you can't just get off & go back). The little ones might like the IMAX, but they're too small for the Launch Experience. There are some neat hands-on displays at the Atlantis experience (this might be an extra charge) & there's a fun slide for the 5 yo. Wish I could give more info, but hope this helps a bit. Lunch w an astronaut may not be a cost-effective option due to the kiddies' ages. Edited October 31, 2015 by Birder1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birder1 Posted October 31, 2015 #3 Share Posted October 31, 2015 As for transportation, I wish I could help, but I don't have advice other than a friendly reminder it's about 30-min travel time (minimum) from the port to KSCVC, do factor that in. I'm unsure where taxis & shuttles drop off/pick up (a more savvy CC'r can chime in)...parking charge is dear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted November 1, 2015 #4 Share Posted November 1, 2015 I'm of the age where we survived no carseats or seatbelts at all...i'm not sure I get the angst of parents nowadays.....yeah...you want your kids to be safe, I get that...but, the older generation is still here...we must have been safe enough...a shuttle requires no seat or belt at all...
