Wynyard Woodland Park Planetarium

Kirsty Smith ★★★★★

First trip to Wynyard observatory on Tuesday 25/02. I came across this venue via Google as my ‘space mad’ 10 year old wanted to visit one. There are others locally but all are costly. This is totally free! There are sessions every Tuesday eve & we went along during school half term. We all had a great time. The volunteers were all super friendly & extremely knowledgeable. We saw Mars & Jupiter from the huge telescopes & star constellations were pointed out by volunteers. There were some interesting items & talks in the planetarium itself and we will definitely return to see a show. Would definitely recommend for any adult or child interested in planets & star gazing! Thank you so much guys!

Been visiting for just over a year now, to the free Tuesday sessions (7:30pm-9:00pm). And I’ve just became a volunteer! The other volunteers there are lovely and are my source of Astronomy information. Plus, despite being close to Stockton and Middlesbrough, you can see quite a few stars on a good clear night (weather dependant) but if it’s not clear, don’t worry as nothing will be cancelled. Have a chat to the guys in the planetarium and you won’t regret it. This place has helped me so much with my Astronomy hobby.

We went to watch the meteor shower up at wynyard planetarium... it was a really good night seen about 4 or 5 meteors... the guys who volunteer up there are really informative and were pointing out which stars and plants we were looking at would fully reccomend.
