With stargazing at home on the rise, we understand it can be daunting if you're just starting out. Telescopes or binoculars? What is a star? What is a light year? How do I use star charts... 

Our team of Astronomers are here to help you get started with the basics, suitable for all the family, these events are designed to inspire children aged 7-12 with our fun and interactive learning experience. These events include Young Explorers and Space Kids, one of our most popular events for parents and their young scientists.

Using our state of the art facilities we will set you on a journey of discovery, and if it's clear we will use our big telescopes to observe the sky, and if not then we have the technology to bring it alive.

Aimed to be fun and interesting to everyone, parents and older siblings will also discover lots of interesting facts about the universe and these are the only events that offer reduced family tickets (inc. two adults and two children). 

Please be aware that all children under 16 yrs must be accompanied by an adult, all of whom must have a ticket to attend.
