Bavarian Public Observatory Munich — Attraction in Munich

A place to go for all star lovers, discoverers of the universe, planets and astronauts, astronomers and astrology’s here is your space. It’s a very unique, special and charismatic place. It’s little but I love the family atmosphere.

Guys getting a tour in the little show room with explanations to the planet systems and also get to see lots of other interesting things. Then you can see the in-house planetarium. It is small but so unique. I have never seen something so intimate and special like this one. Due to it is all smaller you get touched very easily by the atmosphere and how this is explained. Be prepared all tours are different and individual.

After that you get to the top of the building to see the massive telescopes and all the great and also unique equipment they build themselves. If the weather is great you get to see all lot in the universe.

They also have a little store where you can buy things. Entrance fee is totally fine. Leave a little tip if you liked it.

Parking around the streets is no problem.

The entrance is on the left side 145h so you can make a circle walk left around or right. Take the entrance door and use the small or big elevator into the 4/5th floor it’s written. Voila than you are there.

Enjoy it and bring your kids. They are more than...

My daughter was just looking at some rocks, and had a touch. The man came right after us and shouted to her “FINGER WEG FINGER WEG!!! Go out now and it’s not opened”. The he SHUTED the entrance door right at our faces. Super super rude!!!! We were shocked to be yelled at like this and his behaviour was totally not acceptable. His unprofessional manner made us never return and it is very not recommend to visit, no one wants to be treated like...

This observatory & planetarium is an excellent option for your evening. The guides show you so many interesting things in the sky! They are very knowledgeable, funny, & also gave us tricks & tips for star gazing. I would highly recommend 👍 especially for students, of every field & for every sci-fi fan. But of course it is open for all age groups. The tickets were at 6€/head & we visited on a Monday (English). However, it was told to us that 'if youhave a group and you want to have an English guide any other day, it can be requested'.

PS: While there we also saw this rare phenomenon called 'moon dog' which also became colourful (in the...
