Heading to Orlando on business, but my flight back isn't till late Sunday afternoon.

So looks like I'll have Saturday free and Sunday morning.

Any ideas or recommendations of places to visit? I won't have a car so needs to be easy to reach on public transport.

It would help to understand where you are staying. Public transport is pretty poor, overall - unless you are including taxi-cabs (some of which are also lacklustre). What interests you? Orlando is a big place.

Kennedy Space Centre, although getting there isn't walking distance by any means!

That's nearly 50 miles from Orlando. Without a car, you're pretty much limited to Ron John's.
That hotel probably has a shuttle to KSC.
You probably have a $75-100 cab ride to/from the airport to consider in addition. Lots of liquored-up flange on the beach at the weekend, by way of compensation. There is also a Gambling Cruise, which sails out of Port Canaveral every evening....
