Total immersion guaranteed in two auditoriums equipped with the latest in modern sound and image technology. The IMAX¨ cinema (giant screen and 3D glasses provided) and Planetarium (360° circular screen and astronomic simulator) mean that visitors are no longer merely spectators of the skies but find themselves actually IN Space! Within the grounds themselves, you'll find an unusual range of lifesize spacecraft. Climb on board the Soyuz 1st generation spacecraft and an exact replica of Mir, the famous space station in which many Russian cosmonauts have been trained. Come and admire the 53-metre high Ariane 5 rocket as if you were at Kourou! There are a number of facilities for children, including the Small Astronauts' Square, a very special play area. The Base des enfants (children's base) is our new children's attraction, offering a world of breathtaking scenery in which the children themselves are space heroes! The Stellarium, a planetarium for very young children, uses a magical story to introduce them to the magic of the stars and the discovery of the constellations.Over 250 exhibits, mostly interactive, to help you admire, test, learn..and imagine.
