Schools

Temporarily no groups 1–6

We currently have a shortage of volunteers available for groups 1 through 6. Unfortunately, we cannot schedule these groups at this time.

We recommend SpaceExpo, SpaceBuzz and ESERO.

School programs

We love sharing our enthusiasm for astronomy with children and teenagers. In consultation with the teacher, a presentation can be given at the school or at the observatory.

With children from groups 1 to 6 we take a space journey through our solar system and explore the sun, moon and planets.

For groups 7 and 8 the focus is more on a short introduction to astronomy, covering the Milky Way, our sun, comets and how telescopes work.

Note: groups visiting the observatory have a maximum of 30 people total, including children and parents/guardians.

We do not reschedule appointments if weather conditions are unfavourable for observation, as we offer an enjoyable and complete program even without observing.

For schools we charge a fixed rate of €65 per visit, whether at school or at the observatory.

When we are open to the public we do not receive groups or schools.
