NASA has a shuttle launch (STS-131) scheduled for the early morning of 
April 5, so as a space enthusiast I definitely know where *I* would go 
:-D. Kennedy Space Center's visitor complex is worth a visit anyway even 
without a launch; tickets are good for two consecutive days IIRC. Or 
just take a stroll at the atlantic coast after the launch; Cocoa Beach 
may be a good place to go.

You may also want to visit one of the many springs scattered all across 
Florida to go for a swim; I suggest one where you can also rent a canoe 
for a relaxed river trip. Can't name any specific though: Been to two 
such places a while ago, but unfortunately forgotten their names by now.
