Astro Night for Families

Join us for an evening of astronomy for kids as we open the Observatory specially for families this autumn break.

It’s cold at the top, so grab your warm sweater as we invite families to visit the Observatory and point the telescope lens towards Saturn or the Moon if weather permits.

The Observatory can only hold a number of guests at a time, so explore the Spiral Ramp too where our observators will unfold tales of astronomy and the heavenly bodies at eye-level with kids.

Stop at the Library Hall to buy a cup of hot cocoa on your way up or down the tower.

Please Note: Star and planet gazing is not possible if the sky is overcast.
The Round Tower cannot guarantee visible heavenly bodies if the weather does not permit. If it is cloudy or overcast, our astronomers will still keep the Observatory open for visits and will in stead tell stories about the telescope, the night sky and the old Observatory.

Tickets include entry fee but must be pre-booked.
