(Translated by Google) Entry broke just as appropriate. I strongly advise against the combination ticket (with Herstmonceux Castle): the castle itself (now an expensive private Canadian university) is not allowed and is not accessible anyway. The park is also so accessible and the "exhibition" tiny and uninteresting, just a few old photos, all of which show the overgrown castle ... the toilets and the cafe could be visited if they didn't close at 4:00 p.m. would. The park and garden is quite nice. Nobody checks tickets there. So, the observatory collects a small donation ... the observatory itself is quite good, there are some interesting things to see and a lot to try out for yourself. It's great for children and you can easily spend 3 hours there. Two old telescopes saw there, well, nothing going on, nobody there, no show, take a quick look and continue. The playground is great. The water system, including games for the children, was turned off at 5:00 p.m. (you get the impression that the English like to leave work very early). The experiments that are suitable for children are very cool and you can learn a lot about physics and biology here, and get the children excited about what they will hopefully learn in school. Getting here by public transport is an adventure - once a week (!), Wednesday at 11:00 a.m., a Cuckmere bus runs from Eastbourne to the Observatory. Otherwise, take the Stagecoach line 98 across the country and then walk along a dangerous, very winding country road and hope not to be run over by the racing cars (not exactly light-flooded forest) - a risk with children. A very nice woman had come with us in the car, that was our salvation. With a car, if you are in the vicinity, definitely worth an afternoon excursion, with public transport you should plan a lot of time and a little more change (if necessary, call TAXI).

Eintritt boch gerade so angemessen. Vom Kombiticket (mit dem Schloss Herstmonceux) rate ich dringend ab: in das Schloss selbst (heute eine teure private kanadische Uni) darf und kommt man eh nixht rein. Der Park ist auch so zugänglich und die "Ausstellung" winzig und uninteressant, nur paar alte Fotos, die alle die zugewucherte Burg zeigen... die Toiletten und das Cafe könnte man auch so besuchen, wenn die nicht gerade gegen 16:00 Uhr zumachen würden. Der Park und Garten ist ganz nett. Kein Mensch kontrolliert dort Tickets. Daher, das Observatory kassiert also ne kleine Spende... das Observatoryn sich ist ganz gut, dort gibt es einige interessante Dinge zu sehen und ganz viel zum Selberausprobieren. Für Kinder ist es toll und man kann dort locker 3 h verbringen. Zwei alte Teleskope haben dort gesehen, naja, nix los, keiner da, keine Show, mal kurz gucken und weiter. Der Spielplatz ist toll. Die Wasseranlage inkl. Spiele für die Kinder wurde um 17:00 Uhr abgestellt (man gewinnt den Eindruck, die Engländer machen sehr gern sehr zeitig Feierabend). Die kindertauglichen Experimente sind ganz cool und man kann hier Vieles über Physik, Biologie erfahren, die Kinder begeistern für das, was sie hoffentlich in der Schule noch lernen. Die Anreise ist mit ÖPNV ein Abenteuer - einmal in der Woche (!), Mittwoch um 11:00 Uhr, fährt ein Cuckmere Bus von Eastbourne zum Observatory. Ansonsten mit der Stagecoach-Linie 98 übers Land und dann eine gefährliche sehr kurvenreiche Landstrasse entlanglaufen und hoffen, nicht von den rasenden Autos überfahren zu werden (nicht gerade lichtdurchflutetes Waldstück) - mit Kindern ein Wagnis. Eine sehr nette Frau hatte uns mit dem Auto mitgekommen gehabt, das war unsere Rettung. Mit Auto, wenn man in der Nähe ist, sicherlich einen Nachmittagsausflug wert, mit ÖPNV sehr sehr viel Zeit und etwas mehr Kleingeld einplanen (ggf. TAXI rufen).

Very good day out lots to do

Really fun got lots to do there

Brilliant. Loved every minute or so did the kids

brilliant day had loads of fun

Still a relevant scientific expirience that showcases fun childhood physics. This location is beautiful & the observatories are a treat for young & old alike, making it a prime visit for families. The unique time that is recieved here is also perfect for schools & clubs as it can keep children entertained with there fun activities & fact filled astronomers. Overall a great visit that every one may enjoy.

brilliant fun as always

Going against some peoples hate reviews the telescopes are very old and worth a fortune. Re painting them would make them look out of character and mean closing the park for a while. This is a great place for the kids at they can run around free whilst the parents visit the cafe. The is a great place for a family day out with friends and is defiantly worth getting a membership

Went with cubs

Nice place very interesting to see and the tour is good to

(Translated by Google) Recommendable to parents, children will have a place where they can touch everything. Both tickets cost £ 13 per person.

Godne polecenia dla rodziców, dzieci będą miały miejsce gdzie będą mogły wszystkiego dotknąć. Cena biletu na obie atrajce to 13£ na osobę.

Very cool place. Try to time for a dome tour, it was interesting. Also check their schedule for sky watching.

A great day out for all ages

Absolutely awesome. My kid loves it and the staff are so helpful and knowledgeable.
Great day out.

Great place.lots of interactive scientific experiments for all ages. A must go to attraction.

Kids loved it

Great fun for both adults and childten

Interesting and fun activities for kids

Good place to visit and plenty for the family to see and do both inside and out.

We LOVE this place, especially on a sunny day. So much to do and so fun for the kids

Loads to do and see. Bring a picnic, cafe is small.

Great place to visit with the kids! Loads of stuff to do for both young and old!

Excellent place to visit, lots of things to see and have a go at. If you have a tour of an observatory, allow a couple of hours. We visited as part of a scout group family camp and the staff at this venue were very welcoming and helpful.

Reasonable entrance price and lots for younger children to get involved in

Excellent day out for kids and parents. Spend all day playing with all kind of equipment. Explained all about telescope and history. Highly recommending. Also family friendly price's.
