What a wonderful place! The show was great, Greg is brilliant so entertaining and he does create a friendly atmosphere filled with knowledge and giggles, fun and relaxing afternoon out. Always filled with shows and programs, you want to do something different and to expand your general knowledge than this is the right place to visit. (Great for dates too!) The views are phenomenal you can look out over London, see my pics.There is a steep hill to walk up to the observatory, once you up it is well worth it. The sunset light made it even more magical. Highly recommend, already thinking about the next time we can visit.

Sucks!! We took the tickets on the internet but the address was not indicated!! So we came by taxi (even he didn't know where it was...) and we asked people where the planetarium was but no one knew how to show us the way!! We turned for 30 minutes and we finally found the way... When we FINALLY arrived, two staff members refused us entry because we were 2 minutes late!! Inadmissible!! We went to talk with staff members inside the planetarium who were not even able to reimburse us and give us an explanation!! Very unpleasant in addition! So we looked at the reviews on the internet out of curiosity, and we are not the only ones!! Moreover, many people say that the experience is not good.. so thank you for this very unpleasant experience, if you come to London or Greenwich, you will have other much better activities to experience!!

We visited today (27/03/2024) to see “The Sky Tonight”. Disclaimer: it’s mostly about stars and constellations. No planets apart from Jupiter. So if your kids want to see planets this is not the show for them. The man who was talking during the show was very nice and his way of speaking relaxing and also funny. I think the show is overall very superficial”, good for kids but if you are looking for something that goes more in depth I wouldn’t recommend. Still a GREAT thing to do with kids, something different and educational. Also, the planetarium ticket doesn’t get you to the Greenwich meridian line, to see that you have to pay extra £18/adult! Thankfully there’s the same line right outside the gate so no point in paying extra. We also joined a workshop in the Planets Room (top floor) where we did some arts and crafts/soace related.

Took a 4-year-old lover of the planets here, I didn't expect him to have great concentration levels, but he loved his day out at the Planetarium & in London (although pretty irrelevant to the main event... he especially loved the gift shop.. which bankrupted me!! 'We' got all very pricey gifts for EVERYONE 🫣). An expensive day out for me, having booked 2 lots of train tickets, having rescheduled the trip after the initial booking, we then missed the 2nd train by 2mins, so drove there & got a parking ticket, so including the gift shop 'experience', it was a more expensive day out than an all-expenses-paid(by me) trip to Smith Toys! Good cheap fun for children & adults alike. I came here as a child
