The Observatory Science Centre, Science museum in Herstmonceux, East Sussex
The Observatory Science Centre features over 100 interactive exhibits demonstrating physics, astronomy, and scientific principles through hands-on experimentation and discovery.
This educational facility occupies the former Royal Greenwich Observatory site, where astronomers conducted scientific research using telescopes and astronomical instruments until 1990.
Regular star parties and astronomy courses bring together scientists, students, and enthusiasts to observe celestial phenomena and learn about astronomical navigation.
The centre provides specialized areas for educational groups, accessible facilities for disabled visitors, free parking, and a cafe serving light refreshments.
Visitors can examine celestial objects through some of Britain's largest working telescopes during evening observation sessions at specific dates throughout the year.
