i thought the theatre for children is very good and for schools to i like the venus section but i thought it could of had some more bits about the solar system and moon. It had a very good education centre for the schools but could of had some more games about space so it made it fun to learn. What i liked about it was the game room for the under 5s and what i didn't like was the education bit because there was one for the schools but not for other vistors.Before i made my purchuse i would liked to know the price and that there was not that much information abot the solar system and moon. thank you

We went with my 8 year old son to the Movie Mania event at the Space Centre. I live in Leicestershire so we didn't have too far too travel and we had an amazing time. All staff and characters were helpful and friendly. I don't think we would have gone had the Movie Mania event not been on as there would not have been enough entertainment for my son but we had a ball! Only down side was the catering, no hot food available!!- Read Lynda4000's review (83 words)

My family and I travelled from Norfolk yesterday to the National Space Centre as a surprise for my 4yr old. He really enjoyed it, my daughter (8yrs) not overly impressed. I would say it was okay, it would have helped if there had been a board up showing where everything was, my partner thought it was a bit all over the place, not really themed enough. The two educational type rooms I saw, I think one was a Lunar Jim room for under 5's I thought were awful, very messy (as in dirty looking). T ...- Read the swale's review (157 words)

Well signposted from M1. Nice to have demos of how a comet is created etc as live science experiments as you wait in the queue - for over two hours!!?
I found this to be very poor value for money and more expensive than advertised on webpage despite checking that morning before travelling. On arrival it was 75 pence more plus then hidden costs such as up to £3 per person to watch shows. Also went specifically for a Lego play which was on the website with no age restrictions mentioned but ...- Read morticia's review (276 words)

We decided to visit the National Space Centre on a wet and windy day and I must say that even though we made the decision due to the bad weather I wish we had visit here a long time ago, it's true you don't visit the things on your doorstep.
After paying silly money for parking at Alton Towers and the NEC ( £8!!!!!) I didn't have a problem with a £1 for the full day, I think the fact that there was a Security man patrolling the area when we arrived made the £1 seem like good va ...- Read Trinitytrashuk's review (423 words)

After reading previous reviews I was concerned when we decided to visit the National Space centre with our five children. How right we were to disregard them. We went on the Sunday of the bank holiday weekend and there were no queues! The chidlren loved all the different displays and hands on stuff. We loved the film on stars and enjoyed the simulator so much we went three times. We arrived at 10.30 and left at 4.30 and I think we could of stayed longer if wanted. We took our own lunch as ...- Read Glentham's review (142 words)

Both my wife and I agreed that this was the WORST day (hour) out to an "attraction", in over 50 years of our lives. ... and we found it so expensive... for nothing! We both felt that we had been cheated out of our hard earned money. In retrospect we feel that we should have requested a refund. Instead, I took my wife for a slap up Sunday lunch to make amends for such a bad day... and put it down to experience.
We then went to Wollaton Hall at Nottingham where there was SO MUCH MORE to see.. and ...- Read allabarra's review (227 words)

A good idea going to waste. Why on earth exclude America and NASA ?
There is a very good cinema there, but the screenings are limited, and dull. NASA has dozens of good films they distribute to schools etc.
The whole place lacks excitement or coherence. There is no exhibit of the history of space exploration, that would mean showing the development of rocketry by Von Braun in Germany and then of course its continuation in America- Read casper840's review (101 words)

I really enjoyed my visit to the space centre as I saw and touched things that I hadn't touched before e.g fossilised dinosaur poo. I got a great value all year round pass for the same price as my adult pass which cost me 12.50. I was really pleased I could go any time of the year with no extra pay. I thought the theatre was amazing and my boyfriend who came with me thoroughly enjoyed his day to and believe me he is hard to please with days out!
I liked the astronaut space ship look you gave to ...- Read get2knowle4sfinest's review (220 words)

Only recommended for the space fanatic. Well signed from main roads, "space thaetre" exhibit OK. Poor value, dated format with few interactive exhibits, hidden extra charges (including parking and booking), poorly managed queues, poorly trained staff pushing "extras", poor navigation/signage when in building. shop expensive with limited range, sarcastic and evasive responses to negative feedback in questionnaires- Read blemtroot's review (58 words)

Thursday 15th Feb 2007. Our first attempt to visit the UK National Space Centre ended in utter disaster. The M1 was closed, the M18 was closed and frankly the A1 was completely fouled up. We ended up being trapped in the services at the Blyth roundabout. We went home and resolved to try again the next day.
Friday. We left early, used the A1 and got to the National Space Centre in a little over 2 hours. Unfortunately, so had everyone else! The first car park was full but the overflow car park ...- Read AngryShopper's review (1244 words and 1 comment)

Whilst waiting in the foyer, you can see the rockets over the cafe area and a sputnik suspended overhead, things are looking good! You enter into a visually stimulating area and after strolling around for five minutes it suddenly dawns on you, there's nothing here! The cinema can be good but the exhibits are dull and limited. If you have travelled any distance no doubt you would drag the trip out but really it can all be done in an hour. They have even started charging to park cars outside now, ...- Read harryherb's review (165 words)

The National Space Centre in Leicester was a great day out. I took my whole family during the half term holidays and found it great fun. It had loads of interactive thins and huge rockets on display, as well as a simulator ride and a 360 dome theatre show. As it was all indoors, I think it is a great place to go during the winter, and it's extremely good value for money, as through Gift Aid you can register for an annual pass for the price of one ticket. The staff were extremely helpful and frie ...- Read zhannahr's review (101 words)
