Family Astronomy - Grassholme Observatory
Type:Science, Technology & Industry
Grassholme Observatory, Grassholme Reservoir, Mickleton, County Durham, DL12 0PW
Due to popular demand, we have laid on this exclusive event to educate the little ones on all things spacey!
What better way to get the kids into astronomy and science than a visit to the UK's newest public observatory. Your little ones will enjoy an interactive talk in the classroom and then children will be able to see and touch rocks from space – meteorites.
A stunning interactive talk on space stuff in our purpose-built classroom and then weather permitting outside under the stars for some stargazing and peering through telescopes.
Hot chocolate and radiators if needed too!
All in all, a wonderful introduction to Family astronomy under the dark skies of Grassholme.
