The Sabancı Space House stands in the Science, Culture and Art Park at Sazova in Eskişehir. Its equipment was provided with support from the Sabancı Foundation and CIMSA, and it presents images and information received simultaneously from international bodies such as NASA and the European Space Agency through high-end display systems.
The heart of it is a 360-degree dome that takes visitors on what amounts to a live journey through the universe, the galaxies, the stars, the earth and the planets. The presentations and shows are interactive, and the projectors are high-resolution, fitted with fisheye lenses and capable of a 16-megapixel image. Groups can book for the Science Experiment Centre by telephone or in person, following the programme published on the centre's own website. The park is served by municipal bus routes 11 and 17 and by the 16 and 38 minibuses from behind the Atatürk stadium.
