Getting There

Take the Space Shuttle or walk to Uecht?

The easiest way to get to the Space Eye is by taking our shuttle from the parking lot in Niedermuhlern. The shuttle ride is included in the Kids in Space ticket.

However, you can also reach the Space Eye on foot and combine your visit with our adventure trail to the Uecht. The trail takes you through the countryside surrounding the Space Eye and can be used either on the way there or on the way back.

More about getting here

If you have limited mobility and cannot use our shuttle, please feel free to contact us directly—together we’ll find a suitable solution.
