- Ash HallJuly 2025
Reasonably priced day out with lots to see and learn. Despite its small size, there is a great amount of detail in all of the exhibition halls as well as lots of interactive activities for the little ones. However if you don't bring a packed lunch then be prepared to spend a bit more for the cafés. Overall I would say this is a great place to visit for all ages.

A great visitor centre. It's a pretty recent addition, so everything is still working as it should. The guides are all really helpful and know the sites history intimately. The main event, the 'Lovell Telescope', is an awesome sight up close. Well worth the trip.

Fantastic. Went with our granddaughter who's not yet 3 and she loved it, as did we. Plenty of interest for all ages and plenty of interactive things for children, which are fun as well as being educational. The history of Jodrell Bank is amazing, going back to 1945 and the genius of Bernard Lovell. It's still one of the most important observatories in the world as well as being a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Cafe, picnic area, playground and shop are all there.
