Group Visits

Why not bring your group of 10-30 people to visit the Royal Observatory Edinburgh. We accept visits from many different types of group, from Ski Clubs and retired engineers, to Brownies and Scouts.

We offer a range of activities for you group and can arrange special programmes for special interest groups on request. Have a look at our What We Do page for a list of our activities.

  • Observing through our telescopes (weather permitting)
  • Constellation information, including stories and how to spot them
  • A visit to the historical 36” telescope
  • Journey through the Solar System
