Space Centre
Leicester is home to the amazing National Space Centre. There are over 150 interactive exhibits including simulated space flights. This month's Gagarin 50 Exhibition offers cosmonaut training and a chance to blast off in Vostok 1. How cool is that!

I've learnt so much about your wonderful city with your super Blogs...! x
ReplyDeleteNow that's somewhere I must visit next time I'm in Leicester.
ReplyDeleteThat's an unusual looking building. Why does it remind me of a bee hive? Must be busy little bees in there :)
ReplyDeleteCosmonaut training: sounds interesting! :-)
ReplyDeleteRos, You can imagine my surprise when, while researching for an article I was writing about the new planetarium in the Eretz Israel Museum in Tel Aviv, I discovered that the main design was copied / lent from the Nat Space Centre in Leicester which I had until then never even heard of.
ReplyDeleteOf course I went and checked it out online then and it looks a remarkable place.
