I was only there for an evening function, but would have liked to have had part of a day there to see all the exhibits

Interesting for all the family, with interactive games, although some are now dated. Only problem is that there is long wait for the most popular games and exhibits and the children got bored. Good cafe and outdoor playground. Not cheap!

Even for those not particularly interested in aeroplanes this is a really nice visit. You do need to book in advance and provide information regarding your dob and place of birth

Good family day out. Plenty to do for teenagers up, probably a bit much for younger children (ours aged 2 and 4). The imax movie was good and it engaged the younger ones.

This place is an excellent spot for those who are interested in the stars and galaxies and those with children. A note of caution, it is mostly in French - although you can get an electronic translator for the Imax show on the hubble space telescope. It cost us 56 euro for two adults and a child, and I thought... More

Absolutely a must for families visiting Toulouse. Your kids will enjoy a lot of attractions about space. Very interesting the visit to the Soviet space station. You can also experience what you'd feel by walking on the moon!

It was an amazing experience being strapped to this machine that helped mimic how I would have walked on Mars! The place a definitely worth visiting. Apart from the 3D movie and the Awesome planetarium. It houses several space crafts including the the Russian Mir. I also like the meteorological section where you could film yourself doing a weather broadcast... More

I found it an average day out. The planeterium show was good. I think you would be lost if you don't understand any french.

It's a great afternoon for families that don't necessarily want the crowds, noise and general excesses that come with a typical theme park visit. There aren't really any rides, just loads of interactive displays and a couple of simple but neat zero-gravity simulators. We live about 40 mins away and have visited the park 3 times in the last 8... More
