Peter Harrison Planetarium
The planetarium is part of the Royal Observatory, at the top of a very steep hill. Please allow enough time to get to us and aim to arrive at least 15 minutes before the show’s start time. Please see further down the page for Ted's Space Adventure, designed for Under 7s, and Morning Stars, for anyone who would benefit from a calmer and more relaxed environment, in particular those with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). On Sunday 5th and Monday 6th May 2024, the usual planetarium schedule will be replaced with a series of one-off special Planetarium Celebration Shows. Please see further down this page to book these.
