Jodrell Bank Science Centre is home to the third largest radio telescope in the world, the Lovell Radio Telescope. Take a walk around the base of the telescope on the Observation Pathway with exhibition panels about the work of the telescopes. See the changing seasons in the 35-acre arboretum, with National Collections of Malus and Sorbus. Tour the Solar System or take a Journey to Mars in the 3D Theatre and, when you return to Earth, why not try some of the delicious homecooked food in the café. The shop is full of unusual gifts and souvenirs. In the grounds you will find whispering dishes and picnic areas.
