Observatory Tours
We are open Wednesday to Sunday at the following times:
Summer - 1 May to 30 September
10.30am, 2.00pm and 4.00pm
Winter: 1 October to 30 April
2.00pm and 4.00pm
Admission Fee: Adults £10.00, Children (under 15 yrs) £5.00
Duration: Tours last for about an hour and a half, depending on how many questions are raised.
Ages: suitable for ages 11 and older. As the subject is complex at times together with a lot of standing and listening, younger children typically find the experience challenging.
To avoid disappointment, please call or email us prior to your visit because we can only take limited numbers on each tour. Occasionally we host large groups such as schools. Group tours can be booked for any time during the year as per the schedule shown above.
Please note there is no unaccompanied access to the Observatory - we offer conducted tours only.
