The Millbridge Hall
Old Causeway, Kinross, Kinross-shire, KY13 8DW, Scotland
Join Cosmos Planetarium as we chase the Moon across the sky past three planets and a treasure-trove of stars. Along the way you’ll find your place in the solar system, discover a nursery of baby stars born in the time of the dinosaurs, and learn how to test the darkness of your night sky. All you need do is look up!
After your time in our immersive planetarium you will have the chance to enjoy some stargazing. This will include a laser-guided tour of the constellations and observing planets and deep sky objects with our telescopes and binoculars.
Prior booking is required.
This event is held in celebration of National Astronomy Week.
