So much information and so much to see in a unique tour, but very well pitched so that anyone from an enthusiast to someone who doesn’t know what a Near Earth Object actually is would benefit. The Director, Jay, manages to explain things, and answer questions, clearly and succinctly. He has managed to achieve something truly remarkable in The Spaceguard Centre and we’d definitely recommend a visit.

A fascinating visit, full of information. Would thoroughly recommend the trip. Such a knowledgeable tour guide. Amazing views of the surrounding countryside too.

Where do I start??
I know, condescending, rude, lifeless and completely disgusting. The lady on the desk (wife) is lovely upon arrival, she gives you the impression you can ask any question at any time but the problems started when the tour guide/expert (husband) showed up from behind a door. My 10 year old asked if he’s the tour guide and his answer was simply ‘well who else would it be’ !! From then on he was condescending and completely robotic in his approach. As if he’s judged you in his mind as inexperienced amateurs, which most people are on these types of tour. Which is why they go?
Further to another comment i read just before writing this review he also kept looking at my wife’s breasts! Creepy is perfect for his behaviour.
When you read this owners I’m sure you’ll remember who we were. You should be ashamed of yourselves and I encourage anyone who is thinking of going to keep your money and buy a book by Carl Sagan.
My 10 year old instantly switched off and wasn’t interested anymore. I wanted him to engage with it and learn. After all the job of this guy surely is to pass on information. Well no he just wants to impress you with his knowledge and show you up for the lack of yours.
I look forward to your reply to this as no doubt you will defend your attitude and some how blame us for it. And just remember I was there and you know this is all true.
Thank you for discouraging our family from going to another observatory.

If you are at all interested in astronomy, then this place is a must. The tour is extremely informative and lasts for an hour and a half.
Please note, though, that the attraction is NOT suitable for young children. Also, advance booking is essential.

We booked a tour at 4pm on Saturday. What a great place. I learned so much and our guide was so knowledgeable and good at explaining everything. Thoroughly recommend a visit.

I did study some astronomy many moons ago and try to keep abreast of new developments. We found this on line and decided to visit. We couldn't fault it. The Director is obviously really passionate and knowledgable about the subject and conveyed it very well. I knew about half of what we were told but about a half was new to me. I left there with a lot of things to think about. The project is very worthwhile and needs support - I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. Once the new telescope is in place - Drax- we will be going back, Thoroughly enjoyable and informative.

Overall, I can't fault the director's expertise and passion for the subject matter, or the content of the presentation. However, the experience could have been more inclusive - to reflect visitors differing knowledge base and ages. For example, some of the group's questions or observations were dealt with dismissively, which was uncomfortable. This is such a vital venture which relies on public donations, so employing some charm can only foster wider interest and pay dividends.

Amazing gem, hidden away up a hill just outside Knighton (away from light pollution). The centre Director took us round,
explained their mission (tracking incoming asteroids etc) and demonstrated their impressive equipment, including a new large telescope still being installed. Of you're interested in space, this is for you!

Arranged a visit for this afternoon after reading Trip Advisor comments and were not disappointed at all.
For over an hour you get shown telescopes, videos, photos, pieces of meteors and all sorts of amazing facts and figures about how this dedicated bunch of folks help to detect objects in space and determine if they are safe or a threat. Truly interesting and really informative. Our guide was able to explain quite complex things simply and clearly and patiently answered our questions. Definitely worth a visit to this beautiful remote spot.
