CITE DE L'ESPACE Review

It is less than what I expected. No attractions and poor activities. Basic and expensive restaurants.

The price charged is simply exorbitant 24 adults and 17.5 for children over 5 years old at this price we could almost claim a trip to Mars except that the trip to the stars was not for RDV.
The proposed plan is very poorly organized.
Some touch pads did not work.
And grouped animations are unfortunately difficult to access when there are people.
Really very disappointed me who loves this universe.

In addition to the amount of information you can collect during the visit, you will have the opportunity to discover and visit the training model of the station MIR, to report the size of the rocket Ariane 5 (with an exploded view of the various elements composing it, to visit Soyuz (for many, smaller than in their imagination), etc.

Other permanent or temporary exhibitions will allow you to see or know a little more about Mars for example. There are a number of activities to do but they are not open throughout the day. To be able to plan a complete visit, it is better to plan the day.



For the souvenir shop, you will find everything related to Space, for the little ones (Lego / Playmobil) or for the older ones (Revell / Heller models) at prices just above the market (this which is not the case for all souvenir shops).

A few space vehicles, a few animations for the primary, the City gives a mechanistic vision of the Universe, and makes us lose sight of the fact that the third decade of the last century was a real revolution by enriching the collective culture with its new paradigms; Apodictically necessary the postulates of this modern science have revealed themselves as hypothetically necessary, the search for Truth has become an endless march.
Four and a half billion years since its "creation", five billion years until its demise, caused by the explosion of its star, this has ensured and still promises a bright prospect for the blue planet.

Not bad, but it lacks a few workshops or fun activities to do. Have a centrifuge: p

It deserves the. Pena, a museum of the. Space with model rockets like the Arianne, Neil Armstrong's Apollo, Mir, the Soyuz, IMAX cinema and planetarium. In addition, you eat quite well at a contained price

We waited 1h30 to be able to get the tickets !!! There was only an open cash register and the ticket prices are huge 24 for an adult and 19.5 for children !!! It's a shame because otherwise the activities were pretty good and I advise you to do the Planetarium even if it is crowded because it goes quickly.

Very interesting and comprehensive. You can easily spend the day there. Very interesting workshops too.

Great place to discover and understand the issues, the origins as well as the mysteries of the space conquest and of space research. We discover the various launchers, rockets, as well as the current ISS, however most of the activities are for children.

In my opinion it would be interesting if there were activities for enthusiasts or adults.

Good experience anyway!

Nice theme park with the theme of space and human activity to reach it.

A place with a good playful welcome for young and old for space lovers.

An outing to do with family ...
discoveries, attractions and relaxation !!

Very good to spend a family time with your head in the stars. Our 6 and 3 year old sons liked it.

Interesting but expensive and it is sorely lacking in playful aspects!
The price is completely restrictive while it is displayed 16 euros on the internet (it's expensive but it's more expensive at the cash desk ... bravo!) It is not ... I paid 157 euros for 8 people including only 2 adults (average 19.6 euros) and 6 teenagers / children!

The 2 toilets were badly fitted for the snack one, and downright dirty for the one not far from the entrance, with little or no paper for the hands. The snack is very expensive, the restaurant I do not even mention ...
It's expensive to come and spend 3 or 4 hours. All the more so with the covid, more fun and other activities are suspended, but the price remains the same !!
It remains interesting for the older ones, the younger ones get bored quickly because too informative, too many narrative screens with little interactivity (there are some but it is too little).
L "Imax is quite aympas, the fact that there is a (human) narrator is a good thing even if the rebarbative side is clearly felt in his voice.
There are even quite a few people there, a lot of hand sanitizer gel points but few shaded areas in the sun. No park area or games for children.
It's a shame, this place could be grandiose and wonderful for all with a little structural investment (technological nin), instead we have an experience at best interesting for adult / teen space enthusiasts, but almost mediocre in family.

Varied workshops which reflect all the eras of the conquest of space, including current events. Super fun. Water rocket carried out at home after the visit. Deserves to offer more shade in a heatwave

Brilliant visit, it made me much more even if the complex tends to age.

Miss one or two sensational animations of the dynamic type with a rocket that will move for example. ..

I think I had very high expectations of the place. A couple of projections, one in 2D image and the other in planetarium. The rest is seen on the fly and in a short time. At the entrance they recommend a minimum of five hours of visit, the screenings last 45-50 minutes each, the rest of the activities if you do not know French you stay on the sidelines ... The entrance fee for what the park is is not exactly cheap. If you go with the right travel time you can skip this place, there are more interesting things in the city itself and its surroundings.

The themes are very interesting but the site needs a hell of a makeover. Places and activities should be updated

Playful, enjoyable and rich in discoveries. The price may seem high at first, but for 8 hours to spend your eyes and mouth wide open, it's worth it. On the spot, all the conveniences are available, with the More

For fans it is certainly a unique place in Europe. You have the opportunity to see hardly visible pieces, certainly unique in Europe. Particularly the possibility of sitting inside a Soyuz space capsule and walking with gravity 0 simulation.

Very interesting and informative place where you can learn a lot, too much to discover for a single day. Unmissable place in Toulouse whether for adults or family ( for the little ones there are not necessarily many activities) .

Who likes space is a great opportunity to learn interesting things

The planetarium is the essential place of the city of space

Waiting time to access the attractions is unacceptable (55 minutes for the Moon Walker, and there weren't that many people). Very expensive entry. Bad experience

A great place to spend a family day for young and old! IMax cinema is very impressive and we take pleasure in coming back over the years.

Very good day ! Maybe a little too childish for most interactive activities, it would be interesting to add some more adult and scientific activities?

Disappointing. Museum with amusement park price.
Little staffing for the intended public on the day of the visit. The three 'experiences' that are offered as top (the visit to the Soyuz, the simulation of the moonwalk and the swivel chair) have such a limited time schedule with extra long queues that when you get in line they tell you that it is already closed, for that the activity schedule will not allow the entire queue to be attended.

As a science museum it's fine, but a little abandoned
in terms of staffing and overpricing.

Great place to walk around and at the same time learn a lot! Enjoy going during spring. Warm welcome and boutique full of souvenirs at good price.

I expected it bigger and with more things to visit, the feeling is that it lacks more activities. In 5 hours including food are enough. Interesting if the subject matter appeals to you and very focused on young school children. You need an update. Screenings at Imax the best. Good sanitary measures to prevent Covid-19 infections. Very tight access security, even with children, was out of place.

Very nice on the whole can expect the children were overwhelmed a pity that the planetarium does not offer an explanation on the stars big bear ect ...

Interesting if you like astrology but still quite empty ...

I put 4 because we have to wait to do the moon walking simulator but otherwise very well.

A unique visit on the theme "space". It will take a picnic area with enlargements.

A perfect outing for young and old.
Exhibitions, animations, projections.
Some exhibitions are a bit dated.

Quite disappointed with the activities available for children. It seems that there is an exhibition approach very similar to Futuroscope but less attractive. Lots of unexplained activities for children, little room for parents to rest while waiting for children to explore the exhibits. Restaurant - limited menu choice ... It should be taken into account that the measures due to COVID do not help the fluidity of the visit. On the other hand, the staff were at the top !! Very helpful and pleasant.
In short, I am unfortunately not a fan. Maybe a next visit in a few years will convince me ??

Time on site around 6h. Restaurant "bof" and only between noon and 2 pm. The children really liked the planetarium. The Imax and also nice.

really great ! we come out very positive. very didactic

Smiling staff, friendly shop with prices for all budgets, large park where you can visit and where you can learn a lot when you look closely (story box).
Park accessible for people with disabilities even the visually impaired since we were able to see some information in Braille.
Several points where you can sit but lack a little shade (hence the star in -).
The structure is not deplorable as said a few times and you can feel the history thanks to a beautiful reconstruction.
Barrier gestures are respected but not intrusive when you take a step back.
Not too crowded on a Saturday in September.

Interesting museum, large and clean.
Maybe an expensive but fun and educational.

Identical tariffs with certain "attractions" less It is also good to adapt the tariffs to the situation .., ...

DISAPPEED ..., for the children very well, very educational. But for science enthusiasts human exploits not terrible .. A model of the Russian MIR station in a pitiful state ... Dangerous access limit in rainy weather .. In short too expensive

Exceptional place where you can measure step by step the discovery and "conquest" of space.

Large attendance, so indoors especially with groups the noise level can quickly become unbearable.

Patient staff, very patient.

To visit without hesitation, to learn and dream.

Well but too many people in the afternoon and too much waiting for the big halls.

Very interactive site for both children and adults. We had a great day!

Arrived at 3 pm we did not see the exterior which must have been more interesting than the interior, a lot of games did not work correctly impossible to go to the end, we were disappointed inside too much of something uninteresting.

Having been there at the age of 7 years the last time the city has slightly lost its grandeur, the show is still superb activities are varied and we would still want to do more

Very interesting park, with a lot of information; we have a good time.
I only put 3 stars for the price of meals and especially because when we took our tickets with tickets purchased at the EC of our company, no plan or no information leaflet was provided to us, as if we were "subclients"; you have to go back through the queue to get the documents (???). As a result, we lose time in finding our bearings, we do not really know where to go and in what order; finally the pleasure is a bit spoiled. Pity.

A full day allows you to see a lot, but it is not enough.

It was not bad, but what a disappointment to see no or very few women in all the images on offer. The worst viewing of the film launch Apollo 11, that men, white ... Reality distorted!

Just awesome ! Even with young children, it is a very fun discovery of the world of space.

Very good theme park, but it is not very focused on tourism! Since as we were told at the entrance all the explanations and experiments for children are done only in French. Entrances are very expensive and if you do not master French it is not advisable to enter

Extraordinary place. Do not miss it really great. Full of entertainment for the whole family. Very clean, nice place. Interactive animations, modern atmosphere, fun.

Very expensive entrance, too much for what it is, all in French, in the experiments always chose French children.
It is not recommended if you do not know French.
The most expensive restaurants, a water 3!
Anyway......

Great family, lack of access to strollers in some places.

Great experience !!! As much for adults as for children !!!! Place suitable for all, clean, catering possible !! It takes a good day's visit !!!!

Awesome scientific park for the family. Real aircrafts and replicas. The best planetarium ever !

Whenever I went there, with my family or with my class, we were never disappointed. Many animations, varied and interesting, broadcast quality movies. Only downside, there is sometimes too much tail on some entertainment and also on the "next" (catering and shop a bit expensive). There is enough to spend a nice day!

Very interesting educational fun center. Thank you for these presentations which know how to captivate

Mostly for kids... Not tourist friendly contents as most of them are in French... Esp the planetarium, where you are provided with an audio guide and it doesn't work. I Max is the only highlight in this place. Timings are not friendly either... Underwhelming experience...

very interesting and educational but too slow for weightlessness and wheelchair experiences and poor catering

Beautiful area !
Very informative and entertaining. Ideal for children of all ages.
Plan a day (minimum)
I recommend.

Overall very good and informative. Be careful, it's not Disney land, don't look for lots of attractions, it's rather exhibitions on a whole bunch of themes.
No luck, the planetarium is currently closed for renovation.

Great experience despite not all activities / attractions available yet

Excessively expensive for what it offers. If you don't know French, better forget about going. There is no Spanish language in the explanations

In spite of the substantial budget they clearly invested in the place, the results are disappointing. The planetarium is the worst I've ever experienced with a slow and soporific comment made by someone at the microphone. No beautiful space images, only 3D software technology. Very disappointing.

Great day spent in the city of space. Full of great discoveries, the animators are very welcoming. We were able to do all the entertainment except 1 ... Too bad we missed the last session at the Stellarium. We will surely come back in February, for the arrival of the Persistence Rover on Mars ... To do, even with young children!

Fabulous day, very interesting.
The animators are dynamic and lively and really share their passion.
The exhibitions are very well organized and accessible for all ages.
On a day absolutely

Great
But the state of the toilet is deplorable!

Very interesting, a lot of content suitable for young and old, interesting animations but sometimes a little long for little!

Nice place to visit for adults and for children. Especially if you are into science and space. I don't understand all the remarks about everything being in French. It is true that almost all talks and movies are in French, but 95% of all displays have French, English and Spanish. I could enjoy the museum for almost 6 hours. Could easily spent there thr whole day. Very informative and modern museum. Restaurant was fully booked, but there was a bistro where we could buy sandwiches and paninis.

Playful and very interesting. I come for the second time and am still amazed by its stars!

Magnificent !! Everything is to be done. Nothing disappointing. Extras rooms, superb animations, etc.

Great place i went there 2 months in 2 weeks being young ^^

I had the bad idea to visit the museum the same day as school trips; result: 1100 students (according to museum staff) from France and Spain screaming and running in the museum and in the park .... hell because I could not even hear the explanations that were given in some places.
I hope that in the future the museum will make arrangements to avoid this kind of inconvenience (even if it means making a special day out of school).
Despite this bad surprise, the place is nice, interesting exhibitions. Also note that the restoration at a good value for money (menu of the day, starter + main course + dessert for 15.90) and that the focus is on the local and home made all with a warm and smiling!

Whether for adults or children there is absolutely no interest !! reconstructions of its aging some could be done by kindergarten children ... Several queues are not counted so we find ourselves in front of a closed door ... Half a day and just seeing the planetarium . The park is not maintained !!! Where does the entry money go?

Impressed because the knowledge is at the reach of all

Great tour, it's complete and well built. The snack is affordable and there is even a room for those who plan to have a picnic. The iMax and planetarium is the best !!
