Space Place at Carter Observatory
Interesting place, which can be found within the botanical gardens. Has plenty of information throughout. Good place to have a wonder. There is an entrance fee. A great place to bring kids. A worthwhile place to visit.

Really great little museum with some great interaction. Shame I couldn't get to the telescope as a wheelchair user.

I accidentally booked for the wrong night, but the staff were incredibly accommodating and friendly and managed to get us into the show very quickly. We watched the gorgeous Pink Floyd show and were completely mesmerized, highly recommended!

Really great experience visiting the renewed Exscite with my two-year-old.I love the thought that went into the installations, and the downstairs looks amazing with the upgrade.On a rainy day with kids there's just no better place to go to!

Totally worth a visit and an amazing stop that was totally unexpected.The displays were informative, but the best thing was simply to speak to the passionate staff who were engaging, knowledgeable & friendly.Amazing place to learn about the history and valuable finds many of which were found in the locality.It boggles the mind to think about the geological history of the region!Thank you.

I attended the recent dungeons & dragons in space here and it was 10/10 no notes SUCH a blast. I really hope there are more events like it, I'd love to go again - inspired use of the space and getting to see more of the observatory that way was so cool. It was so well run and a great experience. thank you hugely to space place for hosting it!
