National Space Centre
Chalkwell Coaches DayBreak to National Space Centre
Leicester can claim to be the UK’s Space city and an out of this world experience awaits at the multi-award-winning National Space Centre. You can explore six galleries crammed full of rockets, satellites and meteorites, take in a show at the UK’s largest domed planetarium, and ascend the iconic rocket tower. In the Welcome Hall discover a display of world-famous spacesuits. These include the Sokol Suit worn by UK-born ESA astronaut Tim Peake, an EVA spacesuit worn by Matt Damon in the hit movie The Martian and Buzz Aldrin's Constant Wear Garment (space underpants!) worn during training for the historic Apollo 11 mission.
These objects and many others tell the story of past, present and future space exploration with hands-on galleries which take visitors on a journey from Earth, through our Solar System and out into the known, and unknown, Universe. Over 300,000 space enthusiasts from across the world visit the Centre every year. That one giant leap into space is just one small step away for you in Leicester.
