I agree with BrokenArrow1, the display is overwhelming. It sat on the transporters for years and weathered badly. They finally restored the vehicle and built a climate-controlled structure around it. Pictures cannot convey the enormity. Each stage is separated from the others so you can see the rocket engines, etc. When assembled on the launch pad the Saturn V launch vehicle was 373 feet high and weighed 6 million pounds when fueled. The first stage engines burned 15 thousand pounds of fuel per second, each. This display is not to be missed. I’ve seen it several times and its FREE. (Yes, I worked there during the Apollo program.)
