Can I bring my dog to Doors Open Days at ROE?

Unfortunately we are a dog-free site and only assistance dogs will be permitted on-site during Doors Open Days.

I've got a specific question about accessibility, who can I speak to?

Please email our public engagement team at RoyalObsEdin@stfc.ac.uk for any questions about accessibility.

I've got a ticket with a time on it, is this the time for a tour of the telescope dome?

No, the time on your ticket is the arrival window for the whole Royal Observatory Edinburgh site and it does not guarantee you entry to the historic telescope dome or any other areas of site.

How can I get onto one of the telescope dome tours?

We will be releasing slots for telescope dome tours throughout the day (usually up to 90 minutes before a tour). If you go to the blue door in front of the visitor centre they will be able to advise you about whether spaces are available and for what time. There's plenty other things to see as well!
