A sensory experience which gets youngsters keen about science and space

It’s never too young to start learning about and introducing science. We all remember that first science lesson when the teacher made something blow up in the test tube with the bunsen burner, right?

It’s one of those rite of passage moments where you go, ok wow, science might actually be pretty cool. And it is!

I’ve always been fascinated by space and, in particular, constellations of stars. I remember one year when I was young asking for a telescope that connected to the laptop for Christmas. It’s just always seemed so fascinating.

My interest in space is why I’ve been eager to get our little one emerged so early. The small space sessions that run at the National Space Centre are a perfect way to start getting the little ones involved with science and space.

Offered on a regular basis, Small Space is a dedicated session for small children, not open to schools or groups to allow toddlers to explore and engage with the exhibitions. Throughout the day, there are various repeat sessions which allows for the sessions to be less crowded.

Don’t miss out on sitting in the café underneath the rocket, every so often, you’ll get a little surprise which youngsters are sure to love!

The Space Centre is located on Exploration Drive, Leicester. Tickets for general admission at time of print, are £16.95 per adult, children (5-16) and concessions £13.95 and under 5’s free. Parking is £3 per car all day.
