Kids in Bromley can reach infinity and beyond without leaving the Glades Shopping centre this summer as an interactive space experience launches this week.
Children aged six to ten will be able to take part in the free exploration mission to the moon.
The 40 minute journey will see space cadets board vessels decked out like real space shuttles.
Kate Miller, General Manager of The Glades, expressed her delight at being the first venue in Britain to host the star attraction.
She said: “It’s safe to say that the phrase ‘feeling on top the world’ very much relays our excitement. It’s a real coup for The Glades to bring this incredibly exciting event to the UK.
“Thousands of children from around the globe including Brazil, Italy, Serbia and Lithuania have loved the exhibition and we wanted to take a giant leap and bring the same magic and wonder here.”
From August 2 to September 2, departures to the moon are scheduled every Tuesday through to Sunday at hourly intervals between 10am and 4.30pm.
Space passengers will sign in at Mission Control at the lower atrium of The Glades at least 30 minutes before take-off.
Kate said: “On behalf of The Glades and the Space Captains, we wish everyone embarking on the space tours a very safe trip to the moon and we can’t wait to hear all the stories when they arrive back on Earth.”
The event is free, but booking is required via the Mission Control events page at www.theglades.co.uk/space
