The National Space Centre is an
award winning collection of six themed space galleries. Anyone who has
ever wanted to be an astronaut will love this. The space theatre and
rocket tower are excellent. The rocket tower houses both the British
Blue Streak and a US Apollo. Other rockets and space craft are on show
throughout the centre.
The National Space Centre is fun as well as educational. Find out how
astronauts live in such combined spaces. Why do they have to exercise
so much and what are the problems with living in zero gravity?
In 2007 the National Space Centre was voted Large Visitor Attraction of
the Year. There are six galleries and over 150 interactive experiences
here. A glass lift takes you through three floors of the rocket tower.
The Space Centre has the UK's largest planetarium with a spectacular
360 degree space age extravaganza. The centre is located only two miles
from Leicester city centre. Facilities include a restaurant, shop and
parking for over 400 vehicles.
Allow at least 3 to 4 hours to look round properly. A great family day
out.
