I visited the Planetary show with my son (7), my autistic daughter (9) and with my mother. For all of us it was a great and amazing spectacular. I was concern about my daughter as she may want to leave before the performance would finish, but it captured her heart as well... it was clearly a WOW-factor.... later we had a nice walk around the Observatory's area and in the park, spent there overall a 4 hours. Highly recommended.

Planetarium was fantastic. Ticket experience not good. They wouldn't let us in until we queued at the info desk and got tickets printed out. Note to self - next time book direct with the planetarium!

I visit Greenwich regularly as it makes a very pleasant day out, the museums, market, views across the city etc. I had never been in the observatory before and thought my nine year old granddaughter might enjoy the planetarium., which she did however her seat did not recline as you need adult weight to push the chair back which was disappointing. From an adult point of view I found the foyer very cramped and overcrowded with a very long queue. The signal is poor so I had trouble viewing the QR codes so had to leave the queue to go outside and download which was annoying. The show itself was not great, the graphics were poor and not as interesting as I imagined. The plus side was the guide who was very funny and very likeable. My granddaughter wanted to buy a souvenir but it was too crowded and there didn't seem to be much of interest to get anyway. I think they need to rethink the foyer area layout. I am going to try the planetarium in London to see if the graphics are better.

Presentation centered on linking stars and showing you the figures they are known by. This could have been shorter. Zooming in on a planet and showing what the surface looked like was really interesting. As too showing the milky way.
