With a planetarium , a movietheatre for presentations on astronomy, a big telescope in a classical dome and a visitors-centre. Outside we have a special children-playground, based on the laws of physics and a small garden with the Zodiac signs.This is one of the darkest regions in the Netherlands.

Nice but not spectaculair
It has been a while ago but since we keep a travel journal I could still write this review. Its a small observatory. I think its mainly run by volunteers. First you wait in a large room with some simple children's activities. Then you get a tour in which you visit the different parts A theatre where they show you the sky and point out some constellations and the dome with the telescope. Keep in mind that to visit the dome you have to be able to climb some stairs. We visited the observatory because it was part of an arrangement of erfgoed bossum, an accommodation nearby which offers starcubes (equipped with telescope and roofdome) but if we had to travel purely to visit the observatory on its own we would have been slightly disappointed
