Nearly everyone knows that the NASA Kennedy Space Center is located in Florida and pays homage to the true highlights of space exploration.

But what people don’t know about this one-of-a-kind attraction is that there is a Rocket Garden inside that will give you a rare and unique glimpse into the history of space travel.

The Rocket Garden is located right inside the front entrance and showcases some true rocket giants that have made their way through space.

Visitors can enjoy the outdoor display of historic rockets that helped to bring Americans and other satellites into space throughout the years.

Within the Rocket Garden, guests can actually see these giants up close and personal—walking around the base of the rockets and seeing just how gargantuan and magical they are.

Some of the rockets on display in this garden include the Juno I, Mercury-Redtone, Thor, Mercury-Atlas, and Atlas-Agena.

Many of these rockets launched from nearby Cape Canaveral, and have been restored in order to become part of this fascinating garden.

The Rocket Garden also features a few mock-up capsules from the Gemini, Apollo, and Mercury programs that visitors can actually get inside.

Let an expert guide you through this garden of giants and explain the wonderful history of early rocket science.

With free guided tours of the garden that are available every day, come see why this spectacular garden is unlike any other in the state.

Where: 405 Nasa Pkwy W, Merritt Island, FL 32953
