What everyone is saying about the Space CentrE

Testimonials

"We had a great time at the Space Centre. We were lucky to be there on a clear night and we were able to see several objects in the sky. Our group was big so we had to take turns and it took some time but we saw 4 objects including the moon and a dying red star that was stunning!"
