The Goonhilly Visitor Centre, located near Helston in Cornwall, England, offers an educational experience focused on satellite communications and space technology. Visitors can explore the site's history as a groundbreaking satellite earth station and learn about its current role in space exploration. The centre features exhibits on past and present satellite technology, including the iconic "Arthur" satellite dish. While some guests appreciate the informative displays and the opportunity to see real satellite dishes up close, others find the experience somewhat limited. The outdoor walking trails provide nice views of the surrounding area and the massive satellite dishes, but some visitors note that the indoor exhibits could benefit from updates and more interactive elements. The staff is generally described as friendly and knowledgeable, enhancing the visit with their insights. However, some reviewers mention that the pricing can feel a bit high for the current extent of the exhibits. Overall, the Goonhilly Visitor Centre offers a solid introduction to satellite communications history and technology, but there's room for improvement in terms of exhibit engagement and value for money.
