Great way to spend a few hours. Highly recommend the Build Your Own Rocket. It was great fun and the kids really enjoyed it. The dome was a great experience too. We watched the 3pm animation. The garden was lovely to walk around. Plenty of parking. Very friendly staff. Highly recommended.
We visited here for my daughter 7th birthday and it was amazing. She loved it and had plenty to do , its very interactive for the kids and adults.we took a picnic and they had multiple benches to eat this at , is also a coffee shop bit which we got a lovely coffee at , the dome show was amazing but above all else the staff where incredible and really went out to make my daughter feel special they were helpful and polite and I couldnt recommend enough
A pleasant experience , the night sky dome show was a highlight very informative while not being overly long , staff were very friendly and approachable , lovely outdoor walking area was a nice bonus
We visited Armagh Planetarium on a Sunday with our two boys (ages 4 and 9) and had a fantastic experience. The atmosphere was calm and not crowded, which made it really enjoyable to explore at our own pace. We spent nearly 3 hours there and found it to be the perfect amount of time — the exhibition isn't huge, but it's just the right size to keep kids engaged without overwhelming or tiring them out. One of the highlights for us was the fantastic sensory room. It’s full of interactive features and hands-on activities, and the kids especially loved the chance to dress up like astronauts! The Dome Show was definitely the standout moment of our visit — an amazing experience that I’d highly recommend booking in advance. There’s also a small café on-site offering coffee, snacks, and even ice cream — perfect for a short break. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. We had originally booked our tickets in advance, but one of our sons was unwell on the morning of our visit. A quick phone call was all it took to reschedule to another date, free of charge, which we really appreciated. Overall, Armagh Planetarium is a brilliant day out for families with young kids — fun, educational, and very well run!
Came here on a field trip,staff was very helpful, exhibits are very interactive. Wish I could show photos or videos of the inside but they don't allow it. Gift shop is also nice there is also a canteen with some hot drinks and ice cream. Overall would recommend. Close to astro-park with great views. Handicap parking is available. Sensory room and bags are also available.
