CITE DE L'ESPACE Reviews

Super day despite the rain we were able to do everything!

Relatively expensive. Spend the day there and prioritize the planetarium.

It is very instructive and fun for some workshops. This center is very well thought out. The visit can be a little technical at times for young children but at the same time they take full eyes. In addition, it is completely passable with a stroller. The catch: for a family it starts to make a small budget all the same.

Really very interesting to do, it takes a day to see everything great.

Great place to entertain kids and introduce them to the galaxy and all the history of astronauts. Rocket tour, explanations of the planets, cinema scene. Possibility of eating on site picnic or buying but beware of prices! Accessible for children large or small, there is something for everyone.

Excellent place
Plan the day to visit. Possibility to eat.

Not bad, we learn a lot. Only downside I thought to see the brothers bogdanoff

Excellent museum with everything explained in French, English and Spanish. A wide variety of exhibitions and a great iMax cinema. We had lunch in the restaurant which was excellent value (if a little slow and suffering from its popularity).

I would heartily recommend it for 4 or 5 hours of entertainment and education!

Very interesting visit. Very welcome. Helpful staff. You can even leave with a small personalized souvenir, free of charge, on the weightless jump attraction. There are quite a few things you can test. The planetarium is also nice. At the restaurant level, I was in paradise but it's a matter of taste. Here.

Scientifically very interesting.
It is not a very successful place in terms of play, with the exception of the 3 D film which also has few screenings.
In terms of restoration a real disaster.
There is no wifi

If you are not a child, you may not enjoy it as much as they do. The planetarium, nothing of the other world.

Overall very good, just the city of children a little average because no activity.
Otherwise plan the day.
We recommend

Highly recommended and educational museum for anyone. Explanations to the sheets in French, English and Spanish.

A very good experience, many original objects and models that let imagine the world of astronauts. Educational games for children. My advice: go out of season (spring / fall) to enjoy the best without too many people.

Family visit. It was very nice after loving astronomy. There are activities for children very nice. My son loved to walk on the moon!

Very interesting and varied, the animations are all very well done!

My 7 year old son has fond memories of it and so did the parents. IMAX experiences are very engaging, the possibility of entering the Soyuz capsule as well. Have a nice family day

Super excellent place. Amazing. Interesting. Don't miss while visiting Toulouse.
One of the best places

We quickly went around the place, interesting but for students we did not really find our happiness (boredom). However the guide Julien is excellent super time spent with him!

The price remains high compared to the attractions because there is no attraction with sensation. Good movies to watch. Unfortunately, the park lacks attraction justifying the price (24 / adult). It looks like the park is no longer followed, it needs to be boosted with, for example, a weightlessness simulator, 4D cinema ...

When I was studying in Toulouse, I went there at least 4 times (alone or to show my family and friends). Great day every time!

Aging animation, structure from the 90s, the space station dates from the 80s, other than movies and chopper videos on YouTube nothing is really exciting.

Very interesting visit.
It was a bit like the real size Soyuz and the Ariane rocket are roughly reproduced but I can not remember my journey in the originals so ..
The attractions are very numerous, many are a bit basic, the best are stormed and too much tail that we give up as for the simulator of lunar gravity.
3D cinema is cool but the 15 minutes in the space is a bit long for children.

Interesting park but which remains expensive. Unsuitable for the little ones, because very technical and more or less well vulgarized. Especially since the rate applies from 5 years without tier differentiated by age (which could be adapted according to accessibility and understanding).
We arrived at 7 and we were refused the "Tribe" rate without explanation ... very unsightly cashier! At the ticket price a smile would have been appreciated!

Very nice place to learn, the animations are at the top, well done!

All the broken experiences
A day of total boredom
A bad smell throughout the park
The ticket is very expensive for what it is

Cool. I was very surprised because it did not come with expectations or with information read.
It is fantastic for children. The part of the exhibitions is very wide with many activities for them and they have a great time. Many experiences for them.
The capsule Soyuz great. Must visit. Eye with tails.
The MIR station, the dome for observations with telescopes, ...
The projections in the IMAX, planetarium, ... It is highly recommended to invest a day there.

Superb family day spent in the city of space with our 5 year old son. Activities, exhibitions and visits suitable for all ages. We have learned a lot. The fact that there is an outdoor part and an indoor part is nice. From opening to closing, we made a lot of discoveries.

Very friendly welcome by the whole team. Well done, everyone, continue.
We liked the city overall. We would have liked 2 or 3 more attractions to be filled.
Maybe soon.

A magnificent place to visit from the smallest to the largest
Activities and culture for everyone
Space has never been closer

An ideal park for people who like astronomy and topics related to space, spaceships, astronauts ...
We have missed a slightly wider opening (they close at 19:00)
But apart from that we have had a great day

Very welcoming and smiling staff. Very pleasant and fun visit

Very interesting to go with children and spend the day. Adults who like space, physics ... will also enjoy it.

Very interesting educational space. High priced entry but worth it. All information about the museum is in Spanish. Ideal to spend the day with the family. Correct restaurant. Free parking.

Quite disappointed with our family visit to the city of stars ... Imax undergoing maintenance without being warned ... Stellarium which breaks down when we settle in ... The various shows and workshops reserved for groups of children ... Pay this price there and make 200 kms for that ... A little disappointed ...

Small and little fun. I expected much better. And above all, the outer zone is very dry. If they put some trees, avoid dehydration and lipotimias. Disappointed

Avoid, really not the height to distract children, we spend more time reading than having space experiences. It's normal there is no Special experience and there is no animation

Things to learn, not punctual for schedules, restaurant that does not serve continuously too bad when there is crowds.
High price anyway.

Beautiful place, recommended to immerse yourself in the stars, reproduction of the international station, games etc ...

Visiting the park with friends, we spent 7 hours there, we almost had time to do everything and we enjoyed the vast majority of the activities, we learned a lot of things, in short, it was a great day!

Is very funny. Bon I believe that throughout Europe we can find a faithful 1: 1 reconstruction of the Ariane V rocket. The souvenir coins are beautiful and the place is really very big.

Very interesting for all generations
Plan a day see more for an in-depth visit

Scientific theme park inaugurated in 1997 has very little attention to reception and communication for non-French people. There is talk of Esa, of Nasa and yet there is no attention in communicating concepts. Only a few tutorials have the tradition with some earplugs, never the whole content. I find it shameful that a place that by vocation should be aimed at international visitors uses French as its only language. There is still a lot of work to do

Thematic park. Really suitable for everyone. For children and carers. Possibility of laboratories, interactive panels, Imax cinema, planetarium, Stellarium with different shows, observatory, simulators, panels of explanations relating to space, spacecraft and astronauts, in the garden exhibition of satellites and space shuttles. Gift shop with "cheap" and other even more interesting items. Possibility to have lunch on site: 1 restaurant and 2 snack bars.
Easily and easily accessible from the city by subway and bus. Total journey about 40 minutes if the right connections are found.
For us, cost in line with what they offer.

An interesting place but a lot to improve. Avoid shows if you are not French speaker. At the entrance they give you what seems a personalized schedule for your concrete date of visit and language. This lead us to suppose that the show schedule was for our language, and that was a mistake. All shows were in French except for one.
The moon runner activity is disappointing: only three kids in each show can try the spacial dress that allows them to experiment lunar gravity.
The translation in the planetarium show is partial (incomplete) and technically not well solved, you hear French and music directly and translation without music from the earphones.
My overall sensation is that it is too expensive for what you get.

city of space a must in the city of Toulouse,
attention is very big, so you need to schedule time or several visits if you are passionate. By cons not easy access before 6/7 years, to note each year for the night of the stars a free night with telescopes to watch Mars, the moon and all the other wonders of our sky.

A big waste of time, arrived at 10:30, 1:00 of queue for entry, a single open box during the school holidays ... 1:00 of tail to be repressed at the entrance From the first attraction for lack of space, then 3/4 of time for the atraction Next ... 2:30 pm we queued to eat for 1:00 ...
16:00, we give up, the park is saturated, the attractions are nil ...
We lost more than 120 euros for 3 starters and 3 meals!
To avoid

Very disappointed by the city of space that everyone praises and whose name makes you dream ...
Unattractive, often very monotonous. The plan is not clear, we cannot do everything in one day but at the price where the day costs I prefer to pay more for a little Disney ...
No attraction worthy of the name on the subject of space: hanging on two rubber bands you do not even have 30 seconds of travel for an endless wait, the rotating seat is only twice a day but good if you have want to vomit in less than a minute is ideal. Of course we can try to understand how astronauts do it, but not realistic enough. Too bad, the activity in the vacuum of space is perhaps interesting for a person who has not done any study and who can understand a minimum (children who are too young to abstain). This is what one learns in bac S. Moreover, one could expect to have an experience known as of this name.
The touch screens did not work. The experiments did not have their effect even explained with their writings.
The stellarium targets young children for example with a Polaris cartoon with Vladimir the bear and James the penguin explaining why it is night 6 out of 12 months at the South and North Poles, including "why there is ice in these two poles? " It was in a dome but what was the dome screen used for? it's just a dome cinema screen. Couldn't we imagine enough to bring the film to life with 3D and moving seats?
The IMAX cinema does not appeal with the quality of the images, yet it seemed interesting to see the life of Thomas Pesquet. Still a shame not to have felt it better with a cinema screen.
The Teradome quiz is just appalling with banalities.
The only best that made us pass the pill is the Soyuz capsule very well explained by the gentleman and to be able to enter it was a good idea! The mir station could also be visited from the inside, but why can't we go immersed as in an attraction?
Too bad also the dome of the astronomer could offer us much more than an experience on screen but here we will say that the weather was not there.
I do not recommend to too young because everyone I met just wanted the astronaut park. They weren't looking at anything else.

Clearly bring this city of space to life because for us it was the city of emptiness ...

Superb park, it takes a good day to discover it. Lovers of space go there.

For enthusiasts of the space conquest. We appreciate the MIR station and the Eagle lunar module.

Very unhappy with the application which offers you a queue pass but which is just a big scam in fact just for entry and not even a queue, I hope to have a refund for this grotesque deception.
That said, it is a very rewarding treat.

Learning and entertainment. Excellent plan in Toulouse, children and parents will be amazed.

Without being a fan of astronomy and space travel, I had a great time. We learn a lot about the training of astronauts, living conditions on board through exhibitions. You can see 3D films, reconstructions of the MIR station, an Ariane rocket ... Possibility to eat on site at a good price. Very organized and secure welcome. Lovely staff. A good family time.

Nice organization for the 20 years ... well done !! And of course the pleasure of seeing Thomas Pesquet

The advice I can give is to plant trees because the park lacks shade, especially in the children's park.

A beautiful area of popular science, but also for high-level people.

Magnificent city of space which teaches us the history and others of the space conquest. The measures put in place against the covid-19 epidemic are perfect, effective.

The gauge of this park is far too large (several thousand people) for its real capacity (around 1000). Some workshops can accommodate 35 people when hundreds are in line.
The price is outrageous. We spent 100 for 2 hours inside. While it was a weekday. I dare not imagine the weekend ... in short, it's a scam.

Free parking already thank you!
Site that has diversified and improved since my last visit.
Avoid with young children under 6 years old .. it is not pleasant for them or for us or for the exciting animators who want to share their passion with us !!!! We undergo their crying crises etc ...

We were pleasantly surprised by the human resources that were put in place to animate and cultivate us in space ...

Multisupport: exhibition hall
Free guided tour conference experience! !!! There is something for every taste ! !!!

Whoever does not find a taste in it surely has no palate ....

Staff very friendly and available - very nice achievement very fun very interesting - well done and good luck - the tickets are still expensive as are the items in the shop

Super pleasant staff, very welcoming the site very clean and disinfected very good organization and the explanations given by the staff are really perfect. Thank you for this experience

An exciting visit, for all ages. Doing everything in one day is a challenge, you have to prioritize the attractions.

I loved this park even though I am not attracted more than that by the stars

Very good but there is a sorely lack of trees or shade points during a heat wave !!!!!

Interesting but lacking in dynamism, good idea for a day out with the family, positive point: little frequented

Pleasant and interesting visit
Meal at the Astraunote restaurant, impeccable, fast service, smiling waiter
Planetarium and iMax super, Soyuz capsule and MIR super.
Lack of dynamism in other activities
MOON RUNER deserves virtual reality to be more fun.
The exhibitions are good but in the long run too flat
For the rest, congratulations to the smiling and dynamic staff

Very nice ! Too many people so we could not do everything ... Very pleasant welcome ... everything is very well explained the children enjoyed

They deserve 5 stars, it's a great park! But I was shocked to not see ONE yellow trash throughout the park! Not even in the restaurant! While most of the attractions we talk about protecting the planet ... It is unbelievable, they do not apply themselves to the advice they give us ...

For space enthusiasts. Otherwise ... Lack of fun attractions.

It is a very good museum for young and old. A lot is described about space travel. It is also great that you can try out a lot yourself.

Awesome. Breathtakingly modern a place to go and redo!

Good museum, exciting, there you get good education for children

Really nice and educational place. Lots of things to learn regardless of age or level!
A place to spend a good afternoon

We had a great time with the family, interesting to see at least once

An extensive and outstanding museum dedicated to space, space crafts, satellites, and meteorology. You can see a full-scale Ariane rocket and the MIR space station. All exhibits are available in French, English, and Spanish. Entertaining and informative for children and adults. Take at least 4-5h to see everything.

Magic for the curious. We can learn about space technologies.

A very good place for the whole family, remind parents and tell children about space. A little unjustified price. It is very cool that many exhibits are in real sizes, everything can be touched and photographed. And climb into some. I advise you to take snacks and water, as well as cafes with long lines.
