The National Space Centre is a multi award winning museum and upon arrival you will understand why this really is a visit that is out of this world. Take a journey through the six hands-on galleries, stopping at over 150 interactive experiences, then travel in the glass lifts through three floors in the 42m high Rocket Tower. Sit back in awe in the UK's largest planetarium; the Space Theatre, as you're taken on a voyage of discovery in the 360° fulldome experience. The National Space Centre is an all weather attraction for all the family bringing you hours of breathtaking discovery and interactive fun.
