Kennedy Space Center, day 2 (all about food)

We had lunch at Mila’s restaurant, inside the visitor’s center complex. I had chicken pot pie in puff pastry, which was quite good, and Dan had chicken parmesan, which was not as good. Drinks in the entire park are way expensive ($2.60 regardless of where you buy them) but the food was reasonable. Lunch for two, no dessert, was about $25. I’d suggest this restaurant, over the grill that is your other choice.

Food for the zabiha-only is limited in the park. You are limited in the food you bring in (and no coolers are permitted) so you might want to bring a selection of snack type foods, which should pass the security checkpoint without complaint. Otherwise, you’re limited to salads and a cheese calzone like sandwich. Or you could go to the restaurant (Mila’s) and request things like chicken parmesan without the chicken, resulting in pasta with tomato sauce. You can exit and re-enter, but the nearest outside restaurant is at least 20 minutes away, if I recall correctly.

A word of warning to niqabis: for reasons of environmental preservation, the park does not use or offer drinking straws anywhere in their food service facilities. So bring your own, if you use them.
