Observatory Visit for Children

How many stars are there in the sky? Who is the man in the moon? And what does Saturn look like with its rings? Exciting questions like these are answered on the Gurten in a child-friendly way. With a telescope, fascinating celestial events can be observed directly – a real adventure for the whole family.

From November to March, a special astronomy program is offered that is specifically tailored to children. Led by Astro Events, stars, planets and other celestial bodies are explained in a playful way. In addition, there are creative craft stations where young female and male astronomers can create their own space objects and take them home.

The events take place in the winter months because dusk then sets in early enough to run the programs at child-friendly times. The knowledge of the astro experts delights not only the little ones – adults also thoroughly enjoy it.
