Spend your summer in Space

This summer you can pick up a passport and take our space trail, collecting codes for your space passport while discovering amazing facts about the universe.

Take the family on a tour through our six different space destinations: Moon, Spaceship, Andromeda, Mars, Asteroid and Solar System. Marvel at rockets and satellites in ‘Moon’ and see the Apollo 10 Command Module in 'Spaceship'.

In 'Andromeda' you can journey deep into space with the IMAX 3D Cinema, showing Hubble 3D and Space Station 3D or discover the smell of space with Legend of Apollo. Our 'Mars' destination houses a multi-user game and ‘Asteroid’ explains the laws of physics with Launch pad. Finally in 'Solar System' check out a telescope made out of baked bean cans.
