Join us for Meet the Neighbours, a live planetarium show presented by an astronomer from the Royal Observatory Greenwich.
The Universe is a vast and intriguing place, and this show explores our own little corner of it: the Solar System. Starting from our home planet, the Earth, we’ll travel through our celestial neighbourhood, visiting planets, moons, asteroids and more!
Recommended ages 7+. Under-5s will not be admitted – Ted's Space Adventure is suitable for younger children.

The planetarium is part of the Royal Observatory, at the top of a hill with spectacular views across London. Please allow enough time to get to us and aim to arrive at least 15 minutes before the show’s start time, as latecomers cannot be admitted.
