The Observatory Science Centre is unique among science centres  because of its connection with astronomy.  It occupies buildings that were the site of The Royal Observatory when it moved from Greenwich in the 1950’s.  With the copper clad domes and historic telescopes, the buildings retain a very special atmosphere.  It is now a discovery centre where everyone can experience and enjoy science through hands-on exhibits, activities and science shows.  We aim to bring the words ‘fun’ and ‘science’ together!

The centre is operated by Science Projects Ltd, an educational charity (Reg.No: 298542) specialising in the design and build of quality hands-on interactive exhibits and exhibitions, operating two science centres and a selection of travelling exhibitions. If you are a UK tax payer you can help to support us through Gift Aid.
