Winchester Science Centre & Planetarium - Winchester

I took my oldest son (8) as he loves science. He really enjoyed himself there and could have stayed longer. The live shows were fantastic! We stayed around 3 hours, as we went round both floors a few times.

An excellent, interactive, perfectly sized and laid out science centre! Staff are wonderfully friendly and interact really well with children. The frequent live shows are accessible to kids and interesting for all. The exhibits are hands on and not all based on touch screens like other places. It is large enough to be interesting for many hours but not too large to feel overwhelming.

We've been visiting this place since our kids were little, and they've always had a great time! There are plenty of interactive exhibits, and the planetarium shows are fantastic. However, I would mention that this attraction is especially enjoyable for younger children, particularly those under 10.

This is an exciting, fun place for children to visit to explore science. I liked the fact that the decor and theme revolve around both physical sciences and space travel.

The shows are well curated and informative. Grown ups enjoy them as well. The planetarium is conducive for learning. Although the projection is from the giant ceiling, you get a feeling of looking into the sky without the drag of straining the neck. The bookstore stocks books and toys.

The centre is constantly cleaned even with the huge footfall. Parking is massive but paid for. There is an Inn on the property as well for people who have to travel long distances to Winchester.

Overall, it was a great experience.

Absolutely incredible place! Kids well impressed and adults loved it too. There were few shows for free with amazing experiments. Loads to do! Has cafe on premises.

Great place to spend time enjoys the sounders of science and the stars. Plenty to go but you will need to book your ticket as it does get busy.

We are a family of 4 who attended today 19 April and had a great time, the highlight was definitely with Ollie who firstly played a presentation in the Planetarium dome and then he gave a virtual tour of our solar system, again delivered in the Planetarium dome (sorry forgotten the name of it). Ollie was polite, welcoming, knowledgeable and well spoken, so a huge thank you to him!! Sadly ever other staff member we came across seemed like they didn’t want to be there so that was disappointing, but everything else was great and very interesting 👍🏻
