Good for kids
No wheelchair-accessible entrance
Open to public. You can see the Sun using main telescope during the daytime, stars and the Moon during nighttime (7-9pm). There is moon landing exhibition, star stones showcasing (you can touch moon stone there) and much more. Ask local stuff for help. On first floor, there is a science exhibition dedicated to light, light sources, optics, etc. My recommendation would be to join it with watch tower visit and than you can continue to Prague Castle.

A great place to visit with kids over eight years of age. The exhibits are informative but require a good bit of reading. The text is in Czech and English which is nice. There are also hands on exhibits like the telescope and the meteors, both were very nice.
Second time here 2015. Still love this place a lot!!
It's definitely worth a visit! There's a lot of experiments you can try yourself and you can watch the sun through the main telescope.
I have not entered here, since I could not understand whether this is a restricted place or allowed for public as well. Would very much want to enter too see astronomical exhibits. Nonetheless, the place is well maintained with very nice garden. Hope to come back once again.
Amazing experience, staff is very nice, friendly, they speak really good English as well. They are helping everyone to understand and learn new things. First we observed Jupiter on one telescope, then Moon and Jupiter on the 2nd one, then some nebula and stars from Libra constellation on the first one. Really great experience for such low amount of money.
Fantastic opportunity to watch the 115y old telescope in action and watch sun protuberances in real life action! Also great collection of meteorite.
Stumbled across this while hiking up to see the Prague castle. Almost walked away from it as the door was closed during the stated opening hours. Thankfully we came back at 7pm. Entrance was 80kc per adult, with two floors of exhibits and a fairly comprehensive introduction to astronomy to the uninitiated. Write ups in English and Czech. Two of the three domes were open (and understandably cold in winter) with impressive telescopes over 100 years old. Visitors can climb on a step ladder to view stars through the eye pieces. There was some difficulty viewing some stars because of the cloudy weather, so checking the weather forecast may useful.
