Visiting Kennedy Space Center for the first time. Any advice?

I've decided to use some stimulus money (figured it should go back to the best part of our government) and surprise my wife with a trip to the Kennedy Space Center. It's all a bit overwhelming for me because my wife has always been the one that's been into space exploration but this is a dream trip we've always talked about. I'm going to try and get tickets to the launch on April 22nd and signed up for the email notification but if they sell out we'll go look for the next best spot. Any advice on how to navigate this trip would be greatly appreciated! We'll be visiting for 2 days.
