Really great exhibit of space and human exploration of it. Lots of exhibits are hands-on and interactive, so the little ones can go wild. As an adult, I also find some stands very informative, like the 3D map of Netherlands with effects of population, land reclamation, and climate change has now and in the future.

Very fun experience and definitely a place to check out! We went during the 2023 Open Days and enjoyed ourselves for hours. Great to see the amount of passion put into these projects.

It was fun filled day at museum. Museum is not very big but also not very small. Information boards provided information enough to create inquisitiveness about space. It was super fun for kids to receive diploma at the end. Cafeteria is small one so do not expect too much there.

Amazing. Anyone slightly interested in space technology, space travel, satellite observation should visit. Definitely not only for kids. We were a bit hesitant because of the price but it was worth it. The satellite data visualization were impressive.

Though the museum is oriented on children, it has great deal of space ships, satellites and real items from space era that are of interest for everyone. The parking is free, but it may be full. I liked the rocket model that operates on hydrogen and oxygen mixture obtained from water.

Very nice exhibition with a lot of interesting things for children and adults alike. I enjoyed that all the explanations were also in English and my daughter was able to do the quiz test in English. I was a little disappointed about the food served at the cafe. I think it would be a good idea to have a greater variety of food served during the holidays.

Really worth the visit.
At first kids didn't know of they like it or not, but after a while they started enjoying it a lot. In fact they stayed there untill closing and were really disappointed that the Expo is being closed on 5.
Lots of interactive stuff, there is a Soyuz capsule simulator, replica of two ISS modules, touch panela that allow kids to assemble space mission equipment...
You can't get bored there and even trash cans are on the shape of a 🚀.

It was a wonderful day out for both parents and kids. Very interesting and doable quest (e.g. compare two space stations zvezda vs
Columbus) , interesting lecture on how to cook Comet. Free parking. Highly recommend for children 5+.

I recently had the incredible opportunity to visit the Space Expo, and it was an out-of-this-world experience! From the moment you step through the doors, you're transported into the fascinating realm of space exploration.

The museum's exhibits are a celestial journey in themselves. They beautifully blend cutting-edge technology with historical artifacts, making it a true educational gem. I was captivated by the life-sized replicas of spacecraft, including the iconic Ariana, which allowed me to imagine what it must have been like for astronauts on their daring missions.

The attention to detail in the exhibits is astounding. You'll find everything from interactive displays explaining the details to mesmerizing simulations of hydrolysis.

For families, this museum is a dream come true. The expo is perfect even for children and offers hands-on activities and a space-themed play area.

It's a celestial delight for anyone with an interest in ESA missions. Whether you're a budding astronaut, a science enthusiast, or just looking for a mind-blowing experience, this museum will leave you starry-eyed and inspired to reach for the stars. Don't miss it!

You'll love it, if you love Science.
This is one of the most interesting and impressive Museums I've ever visited.

Interactive Projects, a very good Guide and everything is in 3 Languages.
(Dutch,English,German).

I can only recommend it when you're interested in Space and Science.
Have some fun. :)

We had a great afternoon! A lot of interactive content to discover. All the information are available in Englisch and Dutch - some in German. We loved the ISS model and the launch module!

First ever permanent space museum of the European Space Agency. Good place to study how ESA worked in past and current mission. Good place to bring your kids. In side the building you can buy some space related souvenirs, and restaurant also there. You can feel the life of ISS, has a simulator and real Soyuz module too.
