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...).

Déçue !!
Très déçue de la cité et surtout de la boutique : la vendeuse a échangé le tee-shirt que nous avions acheté sans prévenir. Fort sympathique, nous lui avons fait confiance et surtout nous étions heureux de notre visite et de nos achats. Elle l'a rangé dans un sac (acheté aussi) et nous sommes partis, contents de notre journée. Résultat : chez nous, loin de la cité on s'en rend compte; le tee-shirt était pour offrir, encore plus dégoûtés.
Inadmissible !! ????????

Une fabrique d'argent et de propagande
Un lieu inadapté à l'accueil de groupes d'enfants ( l'avenir ) : pas de point d'eau, pas d'endroit adapté pour se poser ou manger en groupe à l'ombre ou à l'abri ( un simple bâtiment préfabriqué dissimulé à l'abri des regards ), personne pour conseiller ou accueillir des groupes d'enfants... je ne recommande pas

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...
