Exploration Tower

Pretty view of the tower while being able to walk the trail around the water. It looks like it would be pretty cool to be able to visit and see the interior as well.

Beautiful building. It has 7 floors of interactive exhibits & observation decks. Would be great for kids. cafe & gift shop. Too bad it’s currently closed.

Free. Easy parking. History. Gifts. Cafe. Elevators or stairs. However is now closed for renovations till Spring 2023. Stunning building. Nicely done. The outside is beautiful and the lights at night are so cool. Water is active with plenty fish. No fishing allowed.

Great place, wonderful views all the way around. The staff were friendly and helpful. The tower was filled with local history of the port and surrounding areas. Wonderful for family's. Also a nice little gift shop there as well. They also have a big simulator so you can try to dock a ship. Also the price is 6 dollars per adult not bad at all. Definitely coming back would definitely recommend.

Really cool place to visit. Can't wait for the restaurant to open and the rest of the floors. Took some pics of the other floors so you can see what we are all missing out on. This is a great place to look around on the top deck and spend some family time.

This interesting place is a 7 story image of a rocket with a history room, gift shop and some hands on activity.

The view from the top is wondrous allowing a person to view several sea food restaurants, shipping industry as well as Port Canaveral Cruse ships.

We came for a UCFPBS event and wow this place was really neat. The views from the top are super neat as you can see the port and the ocean which aren't really things I care for but still people like that. The exhibits that were out while we were there were near, some local historic some just sea care type things. I liked how every floor had something different. Definitely a cool place to visit that doesn't take too much time out of your schedule.

Brilliant little find. The day we visited, mid week term time, it was very quiet and we were able to take our time and enjoy. Lots of history to be told and some really good information about the are. Most of all though, the views are amazing. It was a clear day and we could see the V.A.B. at Kennedy Space Centre!
Oh, and, on our way in there was something big scurrying in the water, I may be mistaken but I thought I caught glimpse of a croc foot in the commotion. What ever it was didn't come near us though, probably just scared of crazy tourists with cameras :D

Growing up in the 60's on the West Coast, I was fascinated with space exploration and Cape Canaveral. This was my 1st time at the Cape, and with 3 grade school grand children in tow. It really was a fabulous Exploration.
Hands on displays teaching young and old the history of the Cape. The top floor is the observation deck where rocket launches can be viewed, as well as the workings of the dock terminals for cargo and cruise ships. Cafe and gift shop, as well as many other places to eat close by.

Most of the floors were closed for remodeling so we'll have to have a "next time". Fortunately, the observation deck is open and admission is free.

We found this gem on Google maps when looking to spend some free time while driving down the Space Coast. Never heard of it before, but definitely visiting again when around. When we were there only the top (7th) floor was open which is the observation deck. It is absolutely gorgeous!! Then we looked the opposite back side of the deck, around the entrance and jumped scared because we saw an alligator staring at us…lol, it was a small statue on the floor for kids to play around. That wall had silhouettes of different birds and many plates around with facts about them. The tower is surrounded by a body of water and there are fish and birds all around it. It is so beautiful up there, you gotta see yourself. The lowest level (entrance) is a gift shop and a caffe if you would like to drink and snack. Here they have a very beautiful mobile made of plastic trash, hanging from the ceiling. There are palm trees around the tower and in front of it is the Port Canaveral and you can see all those huge cruise ships parked there. I wish all floors were open so we can check all. I guess next time. And all this beauty for free! My kids and I enjoyed every second of this visit and will be back for sure. I highly recommend to visit.

It was free to go into the gift shop and up to the observation deck. They were bringing the Space X booster back from an ocean landing while we were there. At the time they were only open Fri, Sat, Sun so check the hours.

This stop was worth it. Low cost to get in. Cool information inside about past rockets launches. The view from the top is nice, you can look out and see the NASA building from up there and see the cruise ships in the harbour. The movie isnt that great and the screen really isnt as big as you would think it claims to be, but if you're killing time check it out anyways. Small little gift shop and cafe on the first floor. Staff there are really helpful with any local questions you may have.

Cool place! Views are phenomenal! You can see the launch pads and if you are lucky ...spot a manatee in the water below. The nearby restaurants are great ..perfect for a stroll looking at the port!

This building is such a beautiful unique structure and definitely a landmark. Lots of exhibits and things to interact with. It also has a cafe and a gift shop. Great views on Port Canaveral from this tower. A must see if you are in the area.

We came here in the evening to watch the SpaceX Starlink launch. As non locals with kids in tow it really made life easy. It wasn't too busy and there was ample parking. We could sit inside until launch and then move outside on to one of two outdoor balconies. Well worth the price for it's value. It is also a very stunning building!

Loved the exhibits & all information. My niece had great time & enjoyed seeing cruise liners in port!! Will visit again on next trip to Florida!!

This place is a lovely hidden gem. Being able to look at the cruise ships and look at the water was great. The building was clean and very comfortable, and the different levels were very educational and fun. For the price of admission compared to the amount of time you can spend here it's a great value! The gift shop they offer also has some cute gifts to bring home from a vacation!

Exploration Tower is located at Port Canaveral. Very modern structure, with free parking and lots of fun exhibits for learning. The views are amazing. Definitely worth the admission fee.

On the 7th floor, you get an excellent view all around! Entry was free (I think at least for now) as well!
Able to see cruise ships and other cargo ships as well. There is a gift shop on the ground floor.
