The theatre was fun but so think it is overpriced and kids (10 and 11) got bored really quickly. Not enough interaction with people.
This is a really interesting place to visit. Our tour guide Martina was full of facts and figures but she kept us entertained and informed.
We have two children aged 6 and 8 and they really enjoyed the day, the crafts and rocket making were the biggest hit, I'm not sure how much there would be to entertain older children or an adults but it was perfect for us
If you live a bit of a distance from the planetarium, I wouldn't go out of my way, but Armagh itself is worth the visit, beautiful city, as people have said before, I was surprised at how small the place is, but between Ipads, desktops, info on the walls and actual pieces of meteorites and the like, there is a ton of information to get through, it is free admission, but they do have film shows and demonstrations throughout the day which you have to pay for, so if you fancy a day out in Armagh, definitely take in the Planetarium.
AMAZING, I hadn't been here since I was at primary school. WOW, the light show blew me away and the staff where so knowledgeable. This will be somewhere you will recommend to friends and family. The children will be amazed.
Adults might find themselves a bit bored by the goings on here - if you can name the planets from Mercury to Pluto, then you'll know much of what is on display. If not, and you want to muck about pretending to be Neptune or Venus, and return to school with a better understanding of how the planets and the wider universe works, then this will be a good way to spend half a day.Unfortunately, the observatory is a working place and not open to the public. There is a planetarium - didn't visit so cannot comment - otherwise, it's a nice place to spend an hour or two, with lots of locals walking their dogs, etc.
Important to check first what shows are on each day as you can have two or three shows on the same day to make it worthwhile
A lot of fun for the kids. The only planetarium in the whole of Northern Ireland. Combine this with a visit to the Observatory
Friendly, well-informed staff, great programme, lots to do and see. Enough to keep children and adults occupied for hours
Very interesting and informative, well worth a visit on the occasional rainy day in Armagh. Displays and shows are excellent.
