Leicester space centre - worth it with a toddler?

DM and I fancy a day out with my toddler. I'm thinking about the space centre in Leicester.
Is there anything for toddlers / interactivity? Or is it all quite in depth info etc? If it helps, DC has an excellent attention span and done interesting keeps his attention for quite a while.

Better with older primary age children imho. We live nearby and it’s normal to go as a school in years 5 or 6.

I wouldn't take a toddler. Wait until they're older. When you do, you can also make a visit to the excellent toilet museum nearby.

Well its not officially a toilet museum but there are a lot of toilets to the delight of my DCs!! its worth a detour!

Thanks everyone. I will leave it until he's older and pick somewhere else.

It is brilliant but much better for a child that can read themselves. There is loads of interactive stuff which will keep kids entertained whilst adults read more in depth boards but far more aimed at primary school age and older who can do the interactive stuff by themselves

Don’t go when they have an event on though (unless you want to see the event and not the Space Centre). When we went, they had a Dr Who weekend and most of the Dr Who stalls were set up in front of the exhibits and blocking access to them!
