Plan your visit
How long will this event last?
The morning will begin with a planetarium show, lasting up to 30 minutes. Following this there will be a workshop lasting up to 45 minutes.
When should I arrive?
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. Any latecomers will be able to join in with the workshop after the show though.
Can I bring a pushchair?
Pushchairs are not allowed into the planetarium itself but there is a designated buggy park in the foyer.
Can I visit the Observatory too?
You do not need a Royal Observatory ticket to visit the planetarium. However, if you would also like to visit the historic observatory then you can book a separate ticket here.
Are companion/carer tickets available?
Companions to disabled visitors are entitled to free admission. These tickets can be selected online when booking any paid ticket. Please contact the Bookings Team on 0208 312 6608 or email bookings@rmg.co.uk if you have any queries.
