National Space Centre An unforgettable evening of space, stories, and sensational food.
Step into the heart of the National Space Centre for an extraordinary three-course dining experience, inspired by the 1969 Apollo 10 mission. In celebration of this historic anniversary, our in-house chefs have crafted a menu based on the meals enjoyed by astronauts, reimagined using the finest seasonal ingredients from local independent suppliers.

This Month's Theme
The menu is based on Apollo 10 - The Apollo 10 mission, launched in May 1969, was the crucial "dress rehearsal" for the historic Apollo 11 moon landing. As the first crew to orbit the Moon, Apollo 10’s success paved the way for humanity's giant leap. Join us to celebrate this milestone in space history.
