With adult admission at £12.72 each and children at £10.77, and pay and display parking (£2) on top, this is a pretty expensive day out. But the exhibits are very good. The website mentions a picnic area, but this comprises only 4 tables in the entrance area and a narrow grassy bank. We made the mistake of booking on line... more

Admittedly I went a couple of years ago when it was new - shouldn't it have been at its best?? but I have been twice and I was not impressed. Over priced and a little wordy for little ones I am a middle aged women and I have been around abit ....Disneyland paris and Twycross Zoo, London etc and this... more

I was fortunate enough to get in for free. The space centre is an expensive attraction, I think approx £12 for an adult so do try and find some way of getting money off (e.g. using supermarket vouchers) as otherwise I think you could be disappointed.

only £38 for a family of 4. Great value for money, and if you keep your tickets you can go again free for 12 months. We all enjoyed but the 2 kids shot off and we just tried to keep pace. Dont miss the planeterium. If you like space even faintly then go here. Only disapointment was the cafeteria... poor. more

We spent an afternoon at the National Space Centre and really enjoyed it. My kids are 5 and 10 years old and for them it was ideal. The film at the cinema was very well done and lasted appr. 30 minutes. Me and my husband also enjoyed a talk about the latest Mars expedition (appr. 15 minutes). The exhibits are... more

Quite expensive to get in so I expected a days worth of attraction. However the exhibits seem aimed at infant/junior school age and held no interest to my 12 and 14 year olds. There is a film in a cinema where the sky is the screen which was good however £38 (for the family) for admission to the centre made... more
