Rocket Garden
Type: Scientific installation
Type: Government Building

This is about as close as most people will ever come to actual rockets. The spacecraft on display here are actual working rockets that have either been fired, or were created as backups for specific space missions. Standing next to one of these huge structures gives you a sense of the scale involved in launching someone or some thing into space. We've become used to seeing rockets launch on television, but until you stand next to one you don't appreciate what's involved in the process. If you can't make it to Florida, NASA has a similar exhibit called Rocket Park in Houston, Texas.
