 Reservation

There is no reservation necessary for our guided evening tours. Just visit us - an evening with clear skies would be best - and enjoy our shows! Our staff, which mostly works on an honorary basis is always looking forward to welcome you.

If you plan to visit us with a larger group, we kindly ask you to contact us before by telephone, so that we can avoid overlaps with other groups.

 Admission

The admission fee for the two-hour guided tour is:
5 Euro as normal admission per person,
3 Euro as reduced admission per person,
Children under 4 years are admitted free.

 Schedule of the Guided Evening Tour

Our program has the following steps (with the focus depending on the weather conditions):

• Tour of the observatory
• Lecture in our exhibition hall with detailed explanations
• Planetarium show: Artificial night sky in a 4.5 m sky dome
• Observing celestial objects through our telescopes (requires clear skies)

Apart from this general program we will always try to answer your specific questions. With registered groups this will be even easier.

A very wide range of events within our astronomical setting can be realized during a specially planned / organised event.
