Went for the space station experience well worth it. Kids then wanted to do the Titanic and said it was great.

The most realistic experience of the international space station you can get on earth. The reality truly comes alive

Your questions about our experiences
What is Space Explorers: The ISS Experience?
Space Explorers: The ISS Experience takes you aboard the International Space Station in virtual reality. Built from real footage shot in orbit and actual NASA missions, it places you at the heart of the station, in the daily life of the crew, with that perspective on Earth that only astronauts know. A scientific journey into space experienced from the inside—much closer to a documentary than a video game.
How long does the experiment last?
Allow approximately 35 minutes for the virtual reality experience. Upon arrival, please allow a few extra minutes for the welcome, briefing, and headset fitting: a complete visit therefore takes around 45 minutes in total.
Where does the experiment take place and how do I get there?
We welcome you to Eclipso Lyon, located in the Confluence shopping center at 112 Cours Charlemagne. The center is served by tram line T1 (Montrochet stop) and is easily accessible by public transport. Parking is available at the shopping center, but the tram remains the easiest way to get here.
From what age can you participate?
The experience is open to children aged 8 and up. Younger children are welcome, provided they are accompanied by an adult throughout the visit. It's a wonderful family outing, both fun and truly enriching.
Are we standing and moving during the experiment?
Yes, this is an experience best enjoyed standing up. You move around freely, and you may be asked to crouch at certain times to fully appreciate the immersion. If you have reduced mobility or simply require more comfort, please let our team know upon arrival: we will adapt the experience so you can enjoy it with peace of mind.
Can the experience cause dizziness or nausea?
This can happen, but it's rare. A member of our team will accompany you throughout the immersive experience, and you can interrupt them or leave the room at any time if you don't feel comfortable. The vast majority of visitors enjoy the entire experience without any discomfort.
