"Op Sonnenborgh zijn proefjes te doen. Ik vond vooral de meteoriet van 115 kilo heel gaaf. Die is niet van steen, maar van ijzer! Er blijven ook magneten op plakken. Maar het leukste van het hele museum is wel de enorme telescoop. Alles in de koepel waarin hij staat, kan draaien! "

Lovely museum for those interested in space and the solar system. The museum itself isn't big and you could spend about an afternoon there. The staff and personnel are friendly and helpful

It would have been almost perfect, if not my friend's jokes about skipping the line and breaking some XIX century tool for counting space and time and everything (So now this train goes straight to nowhere without even the possibility to decently figure out, where we are.) Oh, the nasi was good. Lovely museum! I definitely recommend. Couldn't stop touching the asteroid piece

Interesting place for 30 minutes Nice exposition But you will not see stars and moon during the day Everything is covered and closed Just walking around and diving into atmosphere of science

Small but very informative museum located in a quiet park not far from the other museums. A must visit if you're keen on astronomy - they've got a huge telescope!

Great place to spend the afternoon. Lots of educational opportunities with nice volunteers (Thanks Koon!). Also if you have a museum card, it’s free!

A lovely place to be if you like astronomy. Historic building. Still in use by faculty staff; astronomy and science. Small exhibition. Observatory on top floor (only accessible via small stairs). Impressive library. Some fun educational sets for children. Improvements have been made for visitors who are blind or visually impaired. Small place, but accessible. Friendly staff. No accessible toilet. Accessible parking rather close by. Recommended to visit together as the way to the entrance is a bit steep.

A hidden gem in Utrecht. Went there with friends on Friday night and we saw the moon using the telescope. We loved the Planetarium as well, the person there was informative and we just had an enjoyable and insightful conversation regarding space, greek mythology, and fun hypothetical questions. The persons at the front desk were friendly and helpful as well. They also have unique and affordable souvenirs.

Interesting place filled with history. From a defence wall part to modern telescopes. One can see it in 2 hours with a slow pace.
