Greaaat experience! Besides that the place is very nice, we got to meet the staff, Mr. Rob and his fellow colleague, who introduced us to the telescope room and astrology knowledge as an extra unplanned thing done with such a kind intention from their side. They made our visit unique and we are so grateful for it!!

Cosy museum. On Sundays they do observing of the sun. Especially worthwhile if it’s sunny weather. They have a lovely set of telescopes. And a beautiful mechanical planetarium. You can get a tablet that has information and interactive apps …

Fun and engaging. Had some hands-on activities that was surprisingly enjoyable regardless of age. Interesting building, and the contents even more so. Likely to return as it made for a great start to a day out.

Small but very informative museum located in a quiet park not far from the other museums. A must visit if you're keen on astronomy - they've got a huge telescope!
