Journey beyond Earth and explore what lies beyond
The Space Zone invites visitors to discover the wonders of our solar system, space technology and the science that helps us understand what is out there.
Discover the science of space, planets and exploration
The Space Zone introduces visitors to big questions about the universe, from the planets in our solar system to the technology used to explore space. Visitors can explore ideas linked to astronomy, space travel, discovery and the tools scientists use to learn more about the world beyond our own. It is a great zone for anyone fascinated by planets, stars, rockets, space missions or the unknown.
Perfect for big questions and bigger imaginations
The Space Zone is well suited to visitors who love asking what is out there, how space exploration works and what science can teach us about the universe. It works well for:
Families looking for an imaginative science experience
Children interested in planets, stars and space travel
Older children asking bigger questions about the universe
Schools and groups exploring space, technology or scientific discovery
Visitors who enjoy science with a sense of wonder
Science that starts with wonder
Space is a powerful way to get pupils thinking about science, technology, engineering and discovery. It gives learners a route into big ideas, from the solar system and space travel to observation, problem-solving and innovation. For schools and organised groups, the Space Zone can help support conversations around astronomy, technology, exploration and how science helps us understand the universe.
Big questions. Bigger skies.
