Cité de l'espace accessible to the disabled, with some lectures and events translated into sign language
Do you dream of space, of climbing aboard a space shuttle? This is the not-to-be-missed visit to the stars. Designed as an interactive space, the Cité de l'Espace is for the whole family. Allow a full day for your visit.
In the park, discover the life-size model of the Ariane 5 rocket, wander through the cosmos, and enter real spacecraft, such as the MIR space station duplicate that the Russians used on the ground for tests!
The IMAX room, with its 400 m² screen, offers spectacular cinematic projections. In 2025, the film Deep Sky, the adventure of the JWST telescope plunges us into space and time!
In the halls of the main building, discover the lives of astronauts, relive the first steps on the moon, whose 50th anniversary we celebrated in 2019 (only 12 of them have ever set foot on its soil!), experience weightlessness and the constraints of space for man and a possible implantation. You'll also find out how the weather is forecast by a forecaster from Météo France. Then discover the sun in all its colors, thanks to the astonishing images taken by the SOHO probe.
The new-generation planetarium is one of the top 3 in the world. Comfortably seated under a semi-spherical dome, the planets line up. Last but not least, the Cité des Petits welcomes young visitors to a playful area where they can learn all about careers in space (preparing a rocket, organizing a launch mission...).

Members' reviews on SPACE CITY
The ratings and reviews below reflect the subjective opinions of members and not the opinion of The Little Witty.
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...
A visité en famille et entre amis
Inadmissible !! ????????
