Description:
Welcome to the National Space Centre - a visitor attraction, educational facility and a research establishment dedicated to space.

With a vast array of interactive challenges, audio-visual presentations and hundreds of artefacts charting mankind's desire to reach beyond the Earth, the National Space Centre is unlike any other attraction in the UK.

Our facilities bring together many strands of the National Curriculum at each of the Key Stages including science, ICT, maths, literacy, history, geography and citizenship. As well as the centre's galleries we offer a wide range of educational programmes and resources including the Challenger Learning Centre, workshops and our acclaimed Space Theatre shows. To supplement your visit we have a range of trails to guide you around the galleries and on-line support materials.

And if you cannot come to us we come to you… our Outreach programme includes workshops, loan boxes and the StarDome - an inflatable planetarium.

Of course, we wouldn’t expect you to book without taking a look for yourself. Throughout the year we hold regular open evenings and INSET days that are free to teachers. If you can’t make those then give our Bookings Team a ring and arrange to look over the centre in your own time.

Could this be the voyage of discovery your class has been waiting for? The only limit to your learning is your imagination…

Scouts and Brownies are also invited to join us for spectacular space activities and bespoke days catering for individual badges.
