Lighthouse & Spaceflight Premier Tour, 4 hour
- Duration: 4 Hours (approx.)
You get to visit the Cape Canaveral Lighthouse that has stood tall since the 1849. We visit museums with artifacts and exhibits of military missile vehicles and early manned missions, as well as historic launch complexes. During the drive you have views of the vast surrounding of the cape including historic Cape Canaveral Community Cemetery. At times, we get to enjoy seeing the wildlife on the cape, as they have so much protected land to live and thrive on.
The tour includes stops at the lighthouse where you spend approximately 1 hour. The first 5 floors of the lighthouse inside are available for climbing. The lighthouse museum, gift store and grounds surrounding lighthouse await your visit. Next door to the lighthouse is Hangar C, part of the Space Force Missile Museum. You get to visit inside and see an array of refurbished artifacts. The tour has stops at launch complexes from the early missile program. You visit inside the blockhouse and firing room where our first satellite was launched. You can stand on the launch pad where we launched our first U.S. Astronauts into space.
