Gift aid your ticket and get free annual pass . Cafe is good value , with nice food. Planetarium show excellent. Use entry ticket barcode for kids to access various "trail " features around the centre.

If you're after comedy gold - go to the canteen & observe people sat at the table below the rocket get smoked!

Space theatre absolutely brilliant, worth queuing up beforehand to get in for. Good for the whole family with a wide range of exhibits , some a little old and tired now but nonetheless still fun!

Possibly the best museum in Leicester. Great for a date and to take the kids, so really one for everyone. Make sure you visit the space theatre , the shows are one of the best ways to spend a saturday
