Royal Observatory Greenwich

Nice experience! Spectacular view at sunset. It is a special place to visit, lot of walking to the observatory so dress accordingly and wear walking shoes. Most of the people read astronomy when going to school, this is an educational experience. The meridian line, large telescopes and planetarium are highlights. It is good for all ages and specially for kids. You need minimum 2 hours to visit. I would recommend this place if you are a fan of astronomy or science.

Great experience. We'll laid out touring visit for any one walking up the hill. Just missed the ~1 PM red ball synchronization event.
Hard to imagine Charles II had enough imagination to underwrite the science that evolved there.

Its situated on a small hill. Standing on the zero degree longitude feels being on top of the world. It's a great opportunity for the kids to learn and understand the significance of this place. The cost of the ticket is 16 pounds for adults and half price for the kids 5 to 15 yrs. Below 5 it's free. This cost does not include ticket of the planetarium. Cars can reach the top of the hill otherwise it's a 15 minutes walk from the museum. Do not miss the obsecura....its beautiful and unreal.

Stunning, absolutely beautiful and truly inspiring. There's a lot to see and to discover and it's a bit crazy that I came by this place so many times and I never visited before.
There are several buildings to visit. Some more interesting than others. But finding out the challenges and the inventions of these astronomers is fantastic.
And it's the top of Greenwich Park, just from where you can see all around.
My kids love this too. And I must say that I felt pretty old when they asked me about those funny tools with numbers...which were the fixed telephones I had in my parents house for years.
What blown my mind was the huge telescope in the dome roof. Amazing!!!

SO COOL!!!! Location on the hill in the park is amazing. Beautiful views. The maritime clock stuff is super interesting. The astronomy and telescopes. I loved it so much. They have a planetarium we didn’t get to see but I can only imagine it rules.

Cool place to go with family. The observatory has many science artifacts and displays. Not sure if the observatory itself is still functioning, but it has got several telescopes on display and some other activities to do. It is also where the Greenwich Mean Time line is (the zero degree longitude line), so that’s pretty cool. There is a small gift shop inside and right outside is a really gorgeous view of the London skyscraper.

So much information! I never knew there was that much information about time, the measurement if it, the instruments of it etc. I also never really knew why Greenwich was the prime meridian, now i do. Just when I thought I was done, there was still more to see. Well worth the cost to get in.

Very informative. There's a free tour if you come at the right times, also cool to take your picture at the prime meridian line. Giant, old school telescopes, where astronomers lived and the cool view from this location made it worth the 5-6 minutes uphill walk (although I saw cars there so I'm sure if you were to drive it would be easier).
