Customer Reviews
Great place to visit people there were very knowledgable and friendly, they took loads to time to explain and show the equipment in use.
Had an amazing first day with my step dad today, both of us are planning to go again definitely. Would recommend to anyone interested in astromony at all!
Even though it was too cloudy for the telescope, the enthusiasm, knowledge and welcome of the volunteers, really made it a great evening. Will be back.
