Connecting area: sound
A small area linked the TARDIS Tech Lab area to the Cosmic Curiosities area. While not officially designated as separate, it was unclear which section this area was intended to be part of and so is presented separately here. It featured two short information panels. The first detailed the ' probe, an acoustic probe released from the ' spacecraft that used a microphone to record atmospheric sounds from Saturn's largest moon,. The second primarily focussed on Doctor Who ' s soundtrack in the 1960s and 70s. It also briefly described the '3D' sound used in the 2017 episode Knock Knock. Additionally, this area played atmospheric sounds taken from the "Classic Series" of Doctor Who.

Cosmic Curiosities
After the brief connecting room was a room that focussed primarily on space and space exploration.

Immediately to the left of and on the same wall as the entrance was:
 * An information panel about how ring modulation is used to create the Daleks' voices.
