Lonely Planet review

Experience the thrill of space flight in this interactive museum of space and new technologies a half-hour's drive north of Montréal. Exhibits focus on the solar system, satellite communications, teledetection and space travel, and there are mock-ups of rockets, the space shuttle Endeavor and planets. The center also runs space camps for one to five days for kids aged nine and up in a sort of mini-NASA training.

A multimedia show, Reach for the Stars , simulates space travel with special effects on a 360-degree screen.

The center is a 25-minute drive north of downtown Montréal. It's a bit of a push by public transportation, but you can take the métro to Henri-Bourassa station and take bus 60 or 61 from Laval bus station outside (ask to be let out at the Cosmodôme).
