Visiting Us
At the National Space Centre, our Discovery Team offer day trips, in-house STEM workshops, Simulated Space Missions, shows in the UK's largest Planetarium, teacher training and even sleepovers in the Centre itself!
The National Space Centre welcomes over 80,000 school children each year for out-of-the-classroom learning day trips, however, there is also a wide range of workshops and online activities which we offer to schools and educational venues.
