I can't comment upon the space centre in Florida, but I was very under-whelmed by the one in Houston, and I like that sort of thing.

Legoland is a pile of poo.
Went to Chessington the other day, even that is £32 for an adult. The rides etc aren't that bad but with a 50 minute queue for each ride it kinda kills the moment.
Anyway, if you ever go to one of these places, always use a 2-for-1 ticket that you can get hold of on cereal packs, tesco/sainsbury vouchers etc.Comment

Florida:
If your kids (or you) are interested in the history of space exploration then go, but otherwise it is realy only worth a visit if there is a shuttle on the pad.
Busch gardens has a fantastic selection of roller coasters.
Islands of adventure has some top rides.
Universal studios was good too.
The biggest problem is that each park has a couple of great rides a few good rides and some fillers. To only do great rides you would have to cover a lot of ground.
We have discussed this before search the threads.
If they are still there then The Blue Man Group show is great (get tickets in the poncho area).
Dine at Moonfish and Bahama Breeze. I liked The House of Blues and I am told Gloria Estafans place is good too.Last edited by The Lone Gunman; 1 September 2008, 09:18.I am not qualified to give the above advice!

And the rides are crap. Compared to Florida anyway.
Went over bank holiday weekend with my 6-year-old nephew. He hasn't stopped talking abouot it since, but then my walle has only just stopped hurting.
Plus, hour-plus queues for EVERYTHING - we only went o 5 things the whole day.
Still... a "yearly pass" is cheaper than going twice...Comment

The Jungle Coaster ride was 2.5 hours at one point! We waited till the end of the day and got on in 45 minutes. And it was rubbish.
And the yearly pass can have restrictions on when you can go, depending on which type you get.
Need I go on?Comment
