Cité de l'Espace

Could spend the whole day here easily, three floors and garden full of exhibits and fun interactive games along the way (even for 20 year olds!). We enjoyed both the Asteroids Hunter IMAX, which was in 3D surprisingly, and the planetarium show, as they had English audio. Very quiet on the Friday too. 👍🏼

A truly amazing space museum 😜 suitable for all ages. Inside you will find the history of the moon landing, Mars exploration and much more, with lots of interactive games so you can also understand the physics behind it. In addition, there is a section dedicated to atmospheric measurements. Outside the large park, as well as restaurants and bars, there are the various launchers, with faithful reproductions that can also be visited inside. At the end of the park is a reproduction of the Ariane. Last but not least, the cinema: I highly recommend the 2 shows (one where a stellarium is reproduced with an explanation of our solar system, and another show in 3D of a simulation of an asteroid hitting the earth). Arm yourself with patience for parking: it is free, but it takes a while to find parking on holidays.

very cute, for adults and especially for children, it combines fun, curiosity and lots of interesting information all in one. the lunar landing in the planetarium is very funny. It is recommended to spend a whole day there so as not to miss any of the shows and games.

This place made our day!🤩

So worth the ticket purchased.

We went right after the opening and somehow managed to complete everything..

We kept priority to the shows.

Only downside is there is just too much information there, so try to take occasional breaks by going to shows or having short breaks.

Its fun and educative.. especially for kids. Highly recommended 👌

This place is a celebration of space travel and exploration, and it is a museum that offers an entertaining as well as educational approach to the topic of space.

It is fun for kids and adults alike, there is something for everyone here, and the IMAX and planetarium showings in particular are really cool. There are both indoor as well as outdoor sections with lots of stuff to explore, so be sure to pay attention to the weather forecast before you go so you can bring appropriate clothing.

You can easily spend a full day here, so bring snacks and water for your breaks. There are 3 restaurants and also food trucks here, but the queues are long!

We visited here on Saturday and were really impressed!

So, so much to see, and really interesting! The weather when we visited made our visit even more perfect whilst viewing the outside areas.

We loved that you could go inside some of the exhibits, and also the interactive features inside the main building.

We went to the on-site restaurant for lunch, which was beautiful and really well priced.

Well worth a visit 😊

Exceptional place for researchers, aviators, scientists, content creators, & others.

We visited the museum because of the air conditioning. In summer it is not only hot but also very crowded. Children get their money's worth. Countless events and breathtaking objects to visit. A great experience.

Great museum with loads of real space stuff and good interactive displays. My only criticism is that there are insufficient food and drink outlets. There were long queues from about 11:30am. It was school holiday but no excuse really. If we come again we'll bring a packed lunch.

Our hosts are always inspiring and full of ideas to share. The animations are world class, the large scale space vehicle and satellite examples are terrific. The new LUNEXPLORER was an outstanding feature.
The restaurant is good, too. 😀

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!

What a great place to spend the day! Super informative with interactive displays (some cannot be used now because of Covid). Imax movie in 3d was amazing. Highly recommended to add this to your itinerary if visiting Toulouse or if you live here! Everyone will learn a lot here while having fun.

One of the most interesting places in France and in Europe dealing with Aerospace and Astronomy. Everything is translated into English and Spanish. 🇬🇧🇺🇸🇪🇸
A lot of animations, detailed scientific and technical topics accessible to everyone.
The special exhibition for celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Moon Landing makes this place even more amazing, with full scale LEM from Apollo 11!

Great day out for 4 adults! Off season so we could fully explore and play with all the exhibits haha. The Imax experience was simply incredible

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.

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.

We loved visiting the Cité de L’Espace with our family while we were staying near Toulouse. Educational, fun, interesting, beautiful and engaging. Where else can you climb inside an actual spaceship!? We also loved the model moon village, and the planetarium show, our 4yo son loved the replica Mir space station and the stellarium show - and the space themed playground! Highly recommend 👌🏼

Entry fee is a bit expensive so come in 2 hours before it closes and save 50%. My dad was a space engineer for the CNES so l was already very familiar with what is inside. Check it out!

Great place, there were astronauts and scientists for free. And a very good place for children

Wonderful experience with great exhibitions and displays. Very interactive too.
