This science park on the edge of Toulouse celebrates the city's role as a European centre of aerospace and space research. Outdoor exhibits include a full-scale replica of a European launch rocket and a mock space station module that visitors can walk through. Interactive galleries, a planetarium, and simulators explain orbits, satellites, and the challenges of human spaceflight. Aimed squarely at families and students, it turns complex science into hands-on discovery beneath the towering rocket that marks the entrance.

The world is wide open.
