Cité de l'espace accessible to disabled people, offering certain conferences and animations translated into sign language

Do you dream of space, of going aboard a space shuttle? This is the visit not to be missed, to meet the stars. Designed as an interactive place, the Cité de l'Espace is for the whole family. Count on a full day visit.

In the park, discover the life-size model of the Ariane 5 rocket, wander through the cosmos, enter real spacecraft, such as the duplicate of the MIR space station that the Russians used on the ground for tests!

The IMAX room, completely renovated in 2020 with a 400 m² screen, offers spectacular cinematic projections. Until 2025, the projected film immerses us " In the eyes of Thomas Pesquet "!

In the rooms of the main building, discover the life of astronauts, relive the first steps on the moon whose 50th anniversary was celebrated in 2019 (only 12 of them have walked on its ground!), experience weightlessness and the constraints of space for man and a possible implantation. You will also learn about the weather, by understanding how the weather is predicted with a forecaster from Météo France. Then discover the sun in all its colors thanks to the surprising images taken by the SOHO probe.

The new generation planetarium is among the 3 most powerful in the world. Comfortably installed under a half-sphere dome, the planets are aligned. Finally, the Cité des Petits welcomes the young public in a playful space that presents the professions of space (preparing the rocket, organizing the launch mission...).

La cité de l'espace est destinée aux gens qui n'y connaissent pas grand chose en astronomie ou cosmologie.

C'est très bien fait, très propre, de nombreuses explications. Mais ceux qui ont une passion poussée pour ces disciplines n'y apprendront pas grand chose.

Le seul truc impressionnant c'est de voir la taille réelle des "choses".

Il manque peu pour que le tout soit très bien.

Les activités interactives fonctionnent toutes, c'est assez rare pour être souligné.

Neanmoins, ce jour, la coupole, la reconstitution de Mars et 2 points de restauration sur 3 étaient fermés...

Il ont modernise quelques sujets depuis ma dernière visite ou je m'etais plains de l'obsolescence de leur présentation. L'intérêt de ce genre d'exposition, c'est aussi de se projeter dans l'avenir. Y'a un début de présentation sur la capdule crew dragon de space x qui a vingt ans d'avance, et si on compare avec l'atterisseur lunaire chinois qui est de conception soviétique ça fait au bas mot 50 ans de décalage. J'aurais aussi aimé que vous consacriez un petit espace au technologies nouvelles, atterrissage vertical, moteur ionique, même le GPS et le decalage des horloges, c'est peut être un peu ardu.
Et puis une immersion 3D ça serait super même si on doit payer un supplément, la technologie est fragile est chère mais c'est l'avenir. La visite en 3D de notre dame de paris c'est génial meme si ça beug encore un peu . J'imagine une balade dans l'espace en apesanteur.
Un petit + pour le restaurant bon rapport qualité prix et bon service et j'accompagnais deux personnes en fauteuil roulant

Parque temático dedicado ao espaço, com diversas exposições com muita informação para ler mas também com experiências e apresentações.
Existem diversas apresentações ao longo do dia a decorrer, requer algum esforço de planeamento para assistir a todas, existe uma APP que apresenta os diversos horários. Algumas apresentações são no exterior e não se realizam em caso de condições climatéricas adversas.
Recomendo o filme IMAX e o planetário, estes têm áudio guias para os não falantes de francês.
Pode trazer comida do exterior (com as restrições habituais) para fazer piquenique.
