On October 3, 1927 a Stinson Detroiter took off from a small rural airport near the Grand Canyon. Grand Discovery Tour and indeed grand canyon airplane tours themselves were invented by Grand Canyon Airlines on that day. Since then GCA has flown over a million passengers on the Grand Discovery tour and shown them the famous and beautiful parts of the Grand Canyon. This tour is perfect for those wanting to see the vastness of the canyon without draining their pocket book. Hourly departures from the Grand Canyon National Park Airport head for the eastern part of Grand Canyon, cross over the canyon at Zuni Point Pass, placing both the Painted Desert and the Navajo Indian Reservation on display just to the east along the Colorado River. The tour then changes course to fly over the north rim showing guests the Kaibab Plateau and Kaibab National Forest.
The price includes a $10 Fuel Surcharge Fee

At the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex you will learn everything about space travel. During the narrated NASA bus tour, you will find yourself standing inside the launch control room and looking at an actual Saturn V rocket-the largest rocket ever to fly! You can also take pictures of the shuttle launch pads. With a little luck, you might even see a space shuttle there!
Also at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, enjoy the Shuttle Launch Experience. This simulator ride debuted in May 2007. It replicates the sights, sounds and feelings of a shuttle launch, an incredible journey of launching into space and orbiting Earth aboard a Space Shuttle. Guest Crew members strap in and go vertical for launch in a one- of-a-kind motion-based simulator, the only realistic simulation of a launch ever created. The 5 minute experience sequence culminates with a breath-taking view of the Earth.
