Space Adventure (also called on some merchandise World of Doctor Who Exhibition) was a short-lived exhibition in Tooley Street, London.
Overview
Space Adventure used many of the props from the shortened Doctor Who USA Tour. Visitors entered through a Police-Box-shaped entry and walked through a series of exhibits, able to come quite close to some of the items.[1]
Notable elements
Like the Doctor Who USA tour props, many of this exhibition's props were engineered to move. The Tractator's antennae moved, as did the Dalek's eye stalk, sucker and gun arms. Other props, such as the Silurian and Sontaran, had glowing eyes and their heads moved from side to side.[1]

Promotion
- John Nathan-Turner appeared on an episode of "Behind the Screen" in December 1988 at the exhibition to promote the upcoming Season 25 of Doctor Who. This feature also included a preview of the story The Greatest Show in the Galaxy.[1]
Notes
- Space Adventure's main attraction was a space shuttle simulation ride. This was not connected to the Doctor Who element of the exhibition.
- After exiting the shuttle simulation, visitors would walk through the Doctor Who element of the exhibition.[2]
- The company behind Space Adventures ran into financial difficulties a year after the Doctor Who exhibition opened and the venue was closed down in 1989.
