We've taken our kids to a fair share of science museums around the country, so we thought we knew what to expect on our trip to the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida. Little did we know that it would completely blow our minds and be the best science museum we've ever visited, hands down. The Kennedy Space Center truly goes above and beyond to make the learning experience interesting and fun, and our two kids, ages 10 and 8, both had a blast. The Kennedy Space Center is about an hour out from the Disney/Universal area of Orlando, so it's a great day trip for when you're tired of theme parks and the hotel pool. Plan to spend six to eight hours there (the time flies!) and to get there as soon as it opens (9 a.m.) because the parking lot fills up quickly.

What It's About: This sweet book tells the story of Brian, a quiet boy who never makes a fuss or much noise at all. He feels invisible compared to the other children who are the center of the teacher's attention by being loud, or the children with lots of friends who get picked first for sports. When a new kid comes to school, he makes Brian feel a lot less invisible. Why It's Important: All kids are different. Some are outgoing and some are quiet. This book celebrates those differences, while teaching the importance of welcoming all types of kids to play and participate.
