Spend your summer holiday in Space

Apollo 10

Spend your summer holiday in Space


As you enter the Science Museum you can pick up a passport and travel through different galleries collecting codes and discovering amazing space facts. At the end of your space adventure once you have all the codes, make sure you pick up your souvenir of your trip...
Explore the space gallery and marvel at rockets and satellites as well as the full-sized replica of 'Eagle' – the lander that took astronauts Armstrong and Aldrin to the Moon in 1969.
As you continue your journey you’ll find the original Apollo 10 Command Module In Making the Modern World– the capsule which travelled around the Moon in 1969 shortly before the Apollo 11 landing which followed in July.
Find out how we've explored the universe in Cosmos & Culture, a gallery all about astronomy, and get to grips with the laws of gravity in the ever popular hands-on Launchpad gallery.
Plus you can journey deep into space with the IMAX 3D Cinema, showing Hubble 3D and Space Station 3D. Or why not enjoy Legend of Apollo at our Force Field 4D effects theatre which allows you to feel the impact of a Saturn V launch, take a trip on the lunar rover and discover the smell of space.
More coming soon so come back to plan your trip…
