Get the app and see if there's any launches around when you'll be there.
There's an actual tour for the rocket garden, there will be someone walking around with a speaker mic on a schedule.
The Space shuttle Atlantis! It's incredible to see in person. When you enter the building, there's a ramp that winds around the inside leading to the top, which will eventually open up into a projector room. Make sure you watch that, it's a great reveal.
ALL the interactive booths/exhibits at the Saturn 5 hall are really cool. That building is huge and sells food, so you can see half of it, eat lunch, then see the other half.
There's two bus tours. Apparently the expensive one just includes a ton of stops at the insides of some of the buildings the free bus tours drives by all the buildings but doesn't stop until it gets to the other campus. If the pictures are important to you, you might consider it.
The gift shop lets you order some things and ship them home. They also have discount racks that have older merch that's still great.
Definitely get on the space shuttle launch ride!
Florida's toll roads super suck ass, pay the 20$ of whatever for the e-pass from one of the toll booths, it makes Florida driving less annoying.
Thanks for the driving tip as I absolutely am renting a car at the Orlando airport and driving out to our hotel, which is about 15-20 minutes away from KSC.
