About this tour
Located in the Southern Belgian countryside next to Transinne is the Euro Space Centre.
It provides an exciting Astronaut space program which is suitable for pupils aged 9 and upwards. It allows pupils to gain an understanding of what Astronaut life is like and the mysteries of space.
The program includes activities such as Rocket workshop, Briefing & mission simulation, Moon walk, Astronomy lesson, Zero-gravity wall and many more fun activities which the student would enjoy.
The Centre really does become your base as it provides the accommodation including 4 meals a day as well all the activities which are conducted there.
