Visit the Armagh Observatory and Planetarium, an important center for astronomical research
and education in Ireland. Located in the City of Armagh, it is home to both a historic
Observatory and a long-standing Planetarium. From King George III’s astronomical
instruments to 20 century th innovations.
The Observatory features several historic telescopes and is set in a charming Georgian
building. It functions as an active research facility, providing a glimpse into the ongoing work
being done in the field of astronomy, while also offering insight into its historical significance.
Opened in 1968, the Armagh Planetarium is the longest-running planetarium in the British
Isles. Its 12-meter dome has been a symbol of space exploration for decades, having evolved
from its original Goto starball projector to its current state-of-the-art digital projection system,
which offers a more immersive experience for visitors.
During your visit, you’ll have the opportunity to take part in an observatory tour, where you
can learn about the Observatory’s telescopes and their role in astronomical research, as well
as enjoy a private digital dome show at the Planetarium.
