Parking costs £4 per car for the day, while motorhomes and minibuses are charged £5 (spacecentre.co.uk). The National Space Centre car park operates from 09:00 to 17:00, with the parking charge applying during those hours (marketharboroughholidaybarn.co.uk). Spaces are offered on a first-come, first-served basis, and the attraction advises that availability is not guaranteed after 11:00 (huddlepin.com). ## Parksy Spaces Near the Planetarium and Abbey Lane Its position makes it the closest priced Parksy option in the surrounding listings. A driveway space on Abbey Park Road is 0.4 mi away and costs £12 a day. This provides a day-rate alternative for visitors who expect to spend several hours at the planetarium rather than making repeated hourly payments. Further options include a Bath Barn space in Leicester LE1, 0.8 mi away at £5 an hour, plus a Leicester Squash Club space in the LE2 area, 0.9 mi away at £4 an hour. Show map of Belgrave ## Abbey Park Road and Other Parking Around the National Space Centre The National Space Centre is in the Abbey Meadows area, with its entrance and parking accessed from Abbey Park Road (visitleicester.info). The visitor information listing describes the attraction as having plenty of on-site parking and identifies accessible parking and a drop-off point (visitleicester.info). Drivers who prefer a Parksy space away from the attraction can choose a commercial garage space in Leicester city centre, 0.9 mi away, at £1 an hour. ## Busy Arrival Times and Parking Rules at the Site The on-site car park is busiest when visitors arrive for the National Space Centre, particularly because parking is first come, first served (spacecentre.co.uk). The operator states that spaces are not guaranteed after 11:00, so earlier arrival is the practical choice for popular visiting days (huddlepin.com). Parking charges run from 09:00 to 17:00, with a £4 car charge and a £5 charge for a motorhome or minibus (marketharboroughholidaybarn.co.uk). The car park has 23 enhanced accessibility spaces, and the visitor listing also records accessible parking and a drop-off point (spacecentre.co.uk; visitleicester.info). Abbey Park Road is the named entry road for the attraction's parking area (visitleicester.info). Parking beyond the attraction's own facilities should therefore be treated as separate from the National Space Centre car park and its published visitor arrangements. ## Walking and Rail Access From Belgrave and Birstall The nearest station to the site is Belgrave and Birstall railway station, 1.0 mi away, with a stated walking time of 21 minutes. This gives visitors arriving by rail a defined final leg to Wallingford Road. The planetarium is 0.5 mi from Belgrave centre, while the attraction address is Wallingford Road. Visitors combining a town-centre stop with the planetarium can use the centre as a reference point before continuing towards the site. For visitors avoiding the car park, the 21-minute walk from Belgrave and Birstall railway station is the nearest stated station connection. The station route finishes at the attraction on Wallingford Road.
