In Big Astronomy, discover Chile’s grand observatories and meet the people who push the limits of technology and expand what we know about the Universe using world-class telescopes. Big Astronomy shares the story of the people and places who make big astronomy and big science happen.

The planetarium show transports viewers to Chile where the dark skies and dry, remote setting create ideal conditions to observe the Universe.

Tickets are £7.50 for an adult, £6 for a child (4-15) and free for children age 3 and under.

Suitable for ages 4+ . Aimed at teen/adult audiences.

Note: A planetarium ticket does not include the opportunity to visit our observatory building or look through our telescope.

For observatory visits, please look at one of our open evenings or open days.
