Event Description: | Come along to find out more about the history of the Royal Observatory Edinburgh and about what happens here today. Our team will help you find your way around the night sky whatever the weather. When possible, you'll have the opportunity to observe the heavens with our telescopes. If the weather lets us down, our team will equip you with some handy hints and tips for finding your way around the night sky, so the events go ahead whatever the weather. At each event, you will have a tour of our historic Victorian telescope dome, which still houses one of the largest telescopes in Scotland. Here you will also hear about what happens at the Observatory today. Also included in every event is a meteorite handling session - a chance to hold a rock from space! The events are designed to be suitable for all ages, with the earlier session timed for those with younger children. 6:30pm-7:30pm or 8pm-9pm Booking essential. Cost £4 for adults, £3 for children/concessions |
