South African Astronomical Observatory Visitor's Centre reviews

I personally have not been inside, but we did enjoy the snow. My husband has been and he said it's quite nice. You don't see the stars through the telescope, and it comes through in data.

A great experience to learn more about the starts and the research happening at SALT. …

There are some great interactive displays covering topics from different astronomical phenomena to fossils/dinosaur skeletons in the visitors centre it’s just a shame that they don’t seem to be maintained and a number are out of order. …
