national Space Centre - Leicester...how long should I allow for a visit?

[SlightlyMadScotland]

Just wondering is it a couple of hours, half a day, full day?

Quick answers needed as I am planning on ducking out this afternoon potentially

We went when the boys were about 6 and 8: both mad science/space fiends. We were then when it opened at 10 and stayed until about 4 in the afternoon.

But we had travelled a long way to be there and made special arrangements, so we had to make the most of it iyswim.

Hi - we went about 3 weekends ago and were there from about 10.30am - 2pm, but could have stayed longer! We had to travel back home so left after a late lunch. It was fab - I'd definitely plan for at least a half day and make sure you see the show!

OK...Will do it at half term then.

I am only 20mins away and being nagged to go. DTDs have been drawing space rockets this weekend
I have tickets paid for but wondered if I am a bit late i nthe day getting organised. Sounds liek it is best left until another time.

please read the other thread thats running on this place - I would never go again at half term - q'd for over an hour - very poor entry system

Well I went today. Was there 4 hours. Could have been there longer....(but TBH I was ready to come home).

We had a nice time - I could imagine it would be torture at half term though as I don't think I would want it busier - we got nice access to teh exhibitions.
