At peak times (particularly weekends and school holidays) tickets sell out very quickly and entry to the planetarium cannot be guaranteed for every visitor. Room lighting is left at a higher level, bright enough that you can walk around safely, and leave and re-enter the show if you wish. In our live presenter-led shows, piloted by our expert team of astronomers and science bods, we’ll take you on fantastic journeys through the solar system, into the Milky Way Galaxy and beyond… it’s a truly out of this world experience. With stunning artwork from Chris Wormell and informative text by Professor Raman Prinja, Planetarium is the perfect gift for anyone with an interest in this fascinating field.

These are displayed 360° across the 15-metre hemispherical dome of the Planetarium giving a truly immersive experience. Written by an astrophysicist from University College London and illustrated by the phenomenally talented Chris Wormell, Planetarium explores the solar system, the sun, the night sky as seen from Earth, the stars, galaxies, and the universe as we know it. You can also pick up refreshments from stalls just outside the main entrance to the Observatory, or head towards the Parkside Café just down the hill at the National Maritime Museum. Please consider adding Giftaid during the ticketing process, it costs no extra and the charity can claim the VAT back to support our education, outreach and curatorial mission.
