Further information and ticket types
Open concession prices
This is the ticket for you if you would ordinarily qualify for a concession.
If our standard prices are simply out of reach at the moment, you can also opt for our open concession ticket with no questions asked.
| Open concession: | |
| Adult (age 16+) | £14.30 |
| Child (age 3-15) | £7.70 |
| Planetarium | £3 |
| Personal assistant/ carer | Free |
Personal assistants
If somebody in your party requires a carer, personal assistant, support worker, or if you are entering as a foster parent, then you can book a personal assistant ticket.
These are free and can be added onto any booking that contains an open concession ticket. This applies to both day tickets and the Planetarium.
The UK's only public 3D planetarium
Add a Planetarium show
Enjoy the UK's only 3D planetarium by adding a show to your visit for just £4 per ticket (£3 open concession). Members benefit from half price planetarium tickets.
Planetarium tickets are only available as an add-on to day tickets, so please add them to your cart when you are booking online.
Sometimes there are a limited number of planetarium tickets still available on the day, so do ask the front desk if you forgot to book online.
Visiting with kids?
Under 2s go for free, but you will still need to book a seat for them. Children under 6 can only enjoy the 2D shows due to eye health restrictions on 3D shows.
