This observatory reflects back the history in mapping out the stars, our planet and the solar system. GMT longitude passes through here which itself is an amazing phenomenon. Also- this historical place is surrounded by beautiful park.

Lush green place with lots of historical details. A fun place to visit in the middle of Greenwich park! which was even more incentive to go into the Royal Observatory and explore the exhibits. The fact that admission on the observatory is free makes the visit even more enjoyable, as it is well worth it. There were many interactive activities to do with children (or without) here, including team work activities to get to virtual outer space and science experiments to enjoy first-hand. We didn’t get chance to get inside this time due to COVID but I have been here before , you can visit here with your family to see Royal observatory and maritime line. You can easily spend your whole day here.

Great place to come and visit in Greenwich at the top off the hill, to learn about time zones and how things were done in the past and present. There is enough to do in this general area to have a half day out or even a full day out. From outside the observatory there are great views of East London from this vantage point. Parking is plentiful with a pay and display system. Loads of green open spaces to relax and let the kids run around. Would recommend a visit if you haven't been before and also a must see if you are a tourist.

For the price we paid, I had expected to see more.

Very nice but £16 ticket is overpriced.
