That doesn’t even make sense!

Acceptable alternatives,

It should be fun. It’s my first time there.
It should be fun; it’s my first time there.
It should be fun: it’s my first time there.

You may also consider replacing “it’s” with “it is”, since we should all strive to reach Data’s level of perfection.
