Space City - The Vision

Space City is an exciting new development planned for Cape Town, South Africa. This world-class tourist attraction will bring the awe of space to young and old.

The facility will comprise a Space Exploratorium that will provide a complete experience of the sights, sounds and excitement of space exploration, as well as a hosting a Space Research Institute and a "Space University."

The Exploratorium will house exciting, interactive space exhibits, a planetarium, and potentially an IMAX theatre and Science Centre. These will ensure that the Space Exploratorium not only becomes a sustainable venture but also an important educational resource, bringing the universe and space exploration to the people.

The preliminary architectural concept for Space City is shown below. Space City will be a high-tech "Green" development that is environmentally friendly, designed to minimize negative environmental impact and to maximize energy efficiency.
