Amazing place. So much history involved. Now with the added knowledge that a planetarium is going ahead, this will be epic. All run by volunteers too.

Absolutely brilliant open day! We really enjoyed learning about everything at the observatory.

Wow, what else can I say. The planetarium is worth a visit alone! A lot of work has gone into building the site up and it has a lot of history before you even start exploring the astronomical side.

Out of this world!

This is a wonderful facility. The planetarium is leading edge with a screen and sound to rival any iMax theatre. The seating is very comfortable. We watched The Great Solar System Adventure with its fantastic animation and CGI.
