Armagh Observatory and Planetarium is Ireland’s leading centre for astronomical research and education, and one of the top attractions in the City of Armagh.
Our grounds, spanning around 20 acres of green space, are open 24/7 and provide many opportunities to get closer to both nature and space as well as some lovely views of Armagh.
The Observatory – featuring a number of historic telescopes – is both a beautiful Georgian building and an active research facility, so it can be admired from the outside, but it is only open to the public on scheduled tours.
Alternatively, a tailored group tour, Gold Tour, or Diamond Tour can be arranged for you; contact us for more details.

We are delighted to have been working with the McKeever Group and @thearmaghcityhotel on the opening of @themeridianarmagh.
The Meridian is their new cocktail bar, inspired by the city’s rich connections to astronomy, navigation and timekeeping.
Behind the scenes, we`ve been helping them to name their bespoke cocktails after famous constellations, providing further linkages to our astronomy heritage.
Hotel staff have also had the opportunity to the visit the Planetarium and learn more about the constellations behind the names.
