I am a space and aeronautical fan so tried to squeeze this visit in before my train early in the afternoon. Despite my best efforts, my 3 and a half hour window did not do it justice but I still enjoyed it immensely. There is a lot of information to take in at all exhibitions and good English as well as French translation and options. For the time I had I got to see enough to make the trip worthwhile but easy half to full day here depending on the detail you want to see. Great education centre for children too with a lot of interactive activities. Just one thing to check is whether shows are in French or English. I went to the Mars rover show and it was good but not understanding the commentary did dilute the experience a bit. It is a well organised area and easy to get around. I am very happy I visited.

One of the most interesting and well designed scientific dedicated center . You can admire a 1:1 space rocket and other reproduction of space station I, a solar system model and a Martian land, u In the outdoor exhibition. Inside you will find a space history , a lot of interactive panel to learn everything about space and Earth.

There are several indoor floors with exhibitions which was ideal as it was raining when we first arrived. There are interactive exhibits and games to keep everyone entertained. Once it stopped raining, we enjoyed the garden with the outdoor exhibits. Our favourite was the simulator where we got to experience mach 1. We also enjoyed the planetarium. We didn't have time for the Mars robots or cinema experience but if we'd planned better could have probably fit it in. Had lunch in the restaurant which was lovely although we were really looking for light bites but the cafe was closed.
