Police Hall of Fame and Museum, Titusville

The American Police Hall of Fame and Museum serves both as a place for families and relatives to honor police officers who have died, and a museum. The memorial hall is in the middle of the building, and the museum encircles it. The museum has a lot of interesting information. Both my teenager (who enjoyed the informative exhibits and the flashy cars on display) and my kindergartener (who loved riding the police motorcycle with a mural of a city behind her) spoke about how fun it was after our trip was over. I felt ill afterwards because of the extremely gory exhibits: there is a real guillotine, a real gas chamber, a real electric chair, and a real "tramp chair" which is a truly horrible thing they used on homeless people to get them to leave town. It is more a museum of torture devices than a museum about police officers. There are a few police related exhibits, such as badges from all over the country, badges from the old west, guns, and an exhibit on how to call 911.Titusville, which you drive through to get here from Cocoa Beach, is a very down-and-out town. There were more bail bonds and paycheck loan places here than other stores. It was sad and depressing to drive through this area filled with boarded up stores and derelict houses. 
If you can, go to the Kennedy Space Center (very expensive but worth it).
