Our boys like most kids between 4-10 love everything space, and their eyes nearly blew out when they say the mock up of the ariane rocket. The exhibits were good, but given we don't speak french we were given headphones and a player to help. The players were fairly usless in that they did not have a great deal of... More

This place is one of the greatest museums I have been to in Toulouse, it is a large campus with many things outside. I have three kids under 5 and you can see the entire place in 4 hours if you don't try to look and understand everything. There is plenty of English translation everywhere, we did not get the...

Great for the family, very interactive and informative. Loads to do and the Imax is spectacular and so are the other shows. Only issue I found was the English language things (not sure what to call them, they hang around your neck and translate everything into English for you....well they are meant to) with headphones were very unreliable and eventually...

Well worth the visit. A full size mock up for the mir space station makes it worth while. Struggled a bit with the language barrier. Not enough of the interactive stuff was in English More

We visited out of season so had the run of the place. Unfortunately the IMAX was hired out for a conference on the day we visited. A 2 Euro reduction was given. The internal exhibits were many and various. There are very interesting and informative videos and interactive displays explaining how stuff works, You could spend days just looking at... More

We visited the place as a family (2 adults and 3 children). It is rather on the expensive side (80 EUR or so). Initially we felt dissapoointed with the place as it felt it was not offering anything speical until we went to the Planetarium. It is THE Place to visit. I won't write much here but I promise it...
