some of our visiters opinions
“I absolutely love the place! My first visit was for the Sci-Fi weekend and it was genuinely one of the best days out I have had. The Space Centre is full of great things to do and interact with, the displays are bright and interesting, educational and not patronizing. There is plenty to do all day long. As for the theatre show.....WOW. Just. WOW. It is amazing.” Chris, Cambridge
