The exciting world of port labor has long waited for the Cornwall space port. It's set to open to visitors from Friday, July 2 until Sunday, the evening before the official launch. Other events to be held at the official launch are large fireworks show over the Water. This is the first official international fireworks display in the United Kingdom. You can also watch a live broadcast of the fireworks show on the worldwide web.
A few weeks prior to the official opening, various organizations have been sending up their own small satellites. These small satellites have been carrying data and photos of the Earth from various points in space. Once they are released, these photos and data can be obtained by the Cornwall space port. The satellites are operated by the University of Cornwall and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
During the week prior to the official launch, you'll find a number of other space related events taking place. A full schedule of events can be found online and attendees are invited to attend. These activities include the fireworks display by the Cornwall Space Centre that runs for approximately one hour.
There is also a boat show taking place. Boats can be rented by visitors and sailors can watch as a real-life ship sails by. This is a great opportunity to see how boats are made and what goes into their everyday maintenance and care. The show is not open to the general public but does run during the day on Tuesday, July 4th.
For those visitors who would rather not watch or sail a real ship though, there are still ways for them to experience being at sea. Visitors can visit Cornwall Aquarium, which features all of the latest in marine biology research and shows. There are two dolphin shows to choose from as well as presentations on the lives of whales. Kids will enjoy the Dolphin Splash Show too. The Aquarium makes sure to provide sunscreen for all visitors. This is a great way to get kids interacting with nature and learning about it.
Those who would like something a little bit more energetic can check out the Cornish coast B&B's at Cornwall Space Port. These vacation style accommodations are located right on the beach and give guests the chance to experience the sea. They are private and have their own swimming pools and sauna rooms. If you prefer a more relaxing experience you can visit the Water Mania Amusement Park which features roller coasters, games, video screens and wave runners. Children over five can enjoy the interactive dinosaur zone. This attraction is best for children under seven years old and younger.
Or, if you prefer you can take a stroll along the beaches. Cornwall has miles upon miles of sandy beaches. Some beaches even have their own theme parks complete with water slides and wave riders. Water Mania Waterpark is located on Wheels Bay Beach just two miles from Cornwall Space Port. Here you can also find inflatable rentals that you can slide into and go kite surfing or roller blading.
You should also consider the restaurants in Cornwall Space Port. Most restaurants offer a variety of dishes including home-cooked meals and some include kid-friendly activities such as moon bounce and sand play. This area caters to the entire family and there are many different restaurants to choose from. It should be fairly easy to find a restaurant that offers exactly what you are looking for. The prices are very reasonable and worth looking into.
There are also plenty of stores within walking distance. Most of the shops sell souvenirs and gifts for friends and family. The shopping is very reasonable and you will not spend too much money in all. You can also enjoy a nice day on the beach by stopping by one of the local galleries to pick up a special gift.
For those who would like to take a break from all the action, there is always the opportunity to kayak or canoe. Guided tours are available and the best part is you can do it on your own schedule. If you are worried about getting lost, there are knowledgeable guides that will help you along. For those that want to do something a little more exciting, a dolphin watch is also available. Dolphin watching is a fantastic activity and one you will never forget.
Overall, the Space Port and Cornwall are a great choice for a family vacation. There are tons to do and see. You will want to return to this area year after year. You will be glad you took the time to visit and explore.
