Explore nine Science Museum galleries on a free Pokémon trail connecting the characters with real ESA technology and space missions, from 2 October 2026 to 3 January 2027. A free museum admission ticket must be booked in advance.
Pokémon meets space science at the Science Museum from 2 October 2026 to 3 January 2027. The Pokémon Space Trail links Pokémon with real European Space Agency (ESA) technology and missions across nine galleries. Pick up a free trail sheet in Energy Hall to begin exploring.
The trail is free with a pre-booked free museum admission ticket. If you also want to visit the mezzanine Pokémon x ESA Shop, you will need an additional free timed ticket booked through the museum’s official shop page.
Even without the Pokémon trail, the museum’s free Space gallery is worth a visit for its Apollo 10 and Soyuz spacecraft, Helen Sharman’s spacesuit and a Moon-rock sample.
