If there is not a special show then it is only good for a one hour walk around. More

Spent a day here with a primary school group and have to say NEVER AGAIN. The day started with a film show which was well received by the children but this was followed by what was described in the literature as a half hour rocket workshop. It was actually a young man reading from the screen of a laptop at... More

This is an interesting attraction (if you like that sort of thing) however not worth the full admittance fee, combine it with the ferry ticket or do as we did and pay with Tesco clubcard vouchers. A lot of the interactive exhibits didn't work. We liked the Wallace and Gromit exhibition which has only been there since the end of... More

Arrived at the Spaceport over the Easter Break after purchasing the family explorer ticket at the mersey ferries terminal £30 very good value. We had a good 2 hours in spaceport even though most of the power was off due to the adverse weather. The Wallace and Gromitt exhibition was loved by both adults and children and was great fun....

A really interesting visit. Lots to see and experience and lots of interaction, especially for children. Could spend way in excess of the two hours recommended time. Staff very friendly and helpful. Well worth the admission price. Even better value with two for one when travelling by train to Liverpool. More

Met by friendly staff who 'blasted' us off into space. Lots to see and do with a nice planetarium too. The kids (8,6 and 4) all enjoyed themselves and weren't in a hurry to come home. For the money it's good value.. More

Have just returned from Spaceport with a group of schoolchildren and we felt completely let down. It was advertised as being suitable for our age range (5-7) when it is obviously far more suitable for children of a much older age due to the amount of reading involved. Young children want to be physically involved, not walk around reading information... More

We visited Spaceport with our 8 year old grandson.The Wallace and Gromit Exhibition was excellent and is to be highly recommended for fans of any age. We also found the other exhibits extremely well presented, informative and fascinating, a great set up.We particularly liked the Space Dome, the virtual reality ride and the walk through a wormhole. The whole place... More

Just got back from a day out which included a visit to Spaceport. We've been a couple of times before and have enjoyed it so it seemed a good half term choice. To be honest, you get the feeling that this place is on its last legs. Everything is now looking tired: exhibits are left with broken buttons; 1 of... More
