Description

Urania Observatory – the oldest and at the same time the most modern observatory in Austria. Observe the Sun, the Moon and the stars through a very powerful telescope and discover planets and sunspots. 🔭✨

For families: sky-watching for children takes place twice a week in good weather; on weekends there is a special family program in all weather. Children's tours for schools, kindergartens and private groups are offered. 📚🌙

Children from age 6 can celebrate their birthday at the observatory with up to 14 friends 🎉. Reservations are recommended, as observations may be canceled in bad weather.

  • Double telescope with special solar filters for safe solar observation.

  • Technical highlights: Refractor 15/300 cm (f/20) and Cassegrain 30/535 cm (f/18).

  • Suitable for children aged 2–6, 6–10, 10–12 and from 12 years.
