Isn't that a satellite?

When I went there last, about a year ago, I was very disappointed as it used to be much bigger when I was a kid. Now it is a shop/café and what looks like a school science table with a few experiments and a tiny cinema type thing.

It is nice for the kids though, have a walk round with them
