Space Adventure (also called on some merchandise World of Doctor Who Exhibition) was a short lived exhibition in Tooley Street London.
Overview
Using props from the shortened Doctor Who USA Tour, this exhibition featured many of the props from that exhibition. Visitors entered through a Police Box shaped entry and walked through a series of exhibits, able to come quite close to some of the exhibits.[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, the Dalek's eye stalk, sucker and gun arms all moved. Other props such as the Silurian and Sontaran had glowing eyes and their heads moved from side to side.[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.
