This place was so neat to see, thousands of patches from all over the U.S., tribute police cars, old police cars, movie cars, mobster displays, jail displays, crime scene section, both current and historical law enforcement equipment, a memorial wall for all officers killed in the line of duty, a kids puppet and dress up section, a kids movie theater and so much more.
The attraction is just up the road from Kennedy Space Center aside from that there is not many other things near there, but it is not to far from Cape Canaveral or cocoa beach and other food or attractions.
I had my younger kids with me and they enjoyed it. We took about 2-3 hours to see the exhibits, you could probably take more time or less if needed depending on how into it you want to get. It was not busy at all when we went on a Saturday afternoon.
The cost varies but for law enforcement or survivors it is $2, adults were $13 kids were $4 to $8...

There’s a little something for every interest; a Western section complete with stocks, old weapons, a tramp chair that you can sit in, a mob section that has old news clippings etc. For the little ones; An area for puppet shows, a place to make your own badge, even a dress up corner.
My personal favorite was the investigation section! They have a computer set up with digital composite software that was a lot of fun, an area to compare footprints and dna. The interactive exhibits were so unique, a gas chamber, electric chair, a mock prison cell. Very cool! We ended our visit by going into the memorial in the middle which honors all the fallen officers since 1960. Sobering experience!
Admission is reasonable, everything is clean and very well cared for, the staff is fantastic. We spent over two...
