Discover the wonders of the universe at Armagh Observatory and Planetarium, Ireland’s premier destination for astronomical research and education, located in the heart of the City of Armagh.

Explore 20 acres of serene green space, open 24/7, where you can enjoy beautiful views, connect with nature, and gaze at the stars.

Marvel at the Observatory, a Georgian architectural gem that houses historic telescopes and serves as a hub for cutting-edge research. While the building is open to the public only during scheduled tours, its timeless charm can be admired from the outside.

Visit us Tuesday to Sunday, and on Bank Holiday Mondays, from 10 am to 5 pm. Don’t miss the chance to experience immersive shows in our Planetarium dome and interactive exhibits that bring the cosmos to life.
