A truly unique science learning destination.

Set within the historic domes of the former Royal Observatory and surrounded by beautiful Sussex countryside, our secure site offers an inspirational setting for exploring science and astronomy in a real-life context.

School and group visits include plenty of time exploring our indoor ‘hands-on’ science galleries and our outdoor Discovery Park and Water Planet areas. You may also wish to include one or more of our engaging educational sessions, including Science Shows, Workshops, Team Challenges and Telescope Tours.

We look forward to welcoming you soon!

Please note, we follow East Sussex term dates and are closed on Mondays.
