Fantastic place to visit. Very interesting show. Great entertainment for whole family. Plenty to learn about our solar system and space conquest.
Fantastic way to spend a few hours learning about space science. Planets stars and everything human space exploration. The show was very informative and the big screen was very cool. There are lots of replica models of famous space craft, ISS, Saturn 5, Hubble, space shuttle.nThe staff were very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful.
We have dunsink observatory on our doorstep and came up to here for a change of celestial viewings.nnWe loved the exhibition centre lots of wonderful display pictures models interactive screens.nnSensory room also was fun and the other room with space and environment.nWe forgot to go to the build a rocket room but should also mention the room.nnWe viewed our solar system in the dome and it was brilliant show I read some other reviews complaining about their necks we sat in the middle row and no one from 6 to 80 had issue as the seats are comfy and reclined to an angle for viewing that's how you watch the dome show the main features are in front of your eyes all the time if your rubber necking your missing the main viewing FYInnStaff were brilliant and friendly I'd also like to say I was impressed with our show guide especially when she spoke of hopefully some type of life on some of the planets whether it was a flower a fish etc cause I believe there's life beyond otherwise its a waste of space.nnWe had a lovely stroll around the grounds on a frosty day and loved it. I'd recommend to all ages to come visit it gets minds buzzing and open thinking and could inspire the next galileo astronaut astro physicists etc.nnGreat space themed giftshop also at the entrance.nnWe will defo be back again thank you for a lovely few hour's to imagine possibilities beyond.
We attended the stargazing event on the 15th of March and absolutely loved it! NB! These events have to be booked ahead as they are only held occasioanllynnMy partner and I are both big fans of astronomy and stargazing and have been wanting to buy our own telescope for a while, but have little experience with them. They had three different big telescopes that we could look through. It was evident that the staff were all professionals and very well knowledged and answered loads of our questions!nI saw Jupiter and its moons my favourite as I always spot it in the night sky, The seven sisters star cluster, a spiral galaxy, the moon, and plenty of other stars.nnIt was a great night as we could also explore the observatory itself and all the exhibitions, as well as the live sky dome show.nnIt’s such an interesting experience and worth the drive up from Dublin!
We went to the show “We Are Guardians” and it was mindblowing. We love the place.
