Fantastic friendly service. Certainly the best range of eyewear in the area & the prices are very good. Recommend, 5 ⭐’s

Visited during a public open evening. Great demonstration of the telescopes and interesting show in an inflatable outdoor planetarium. It was freezing but we were really lucky with clear sky. Would go back and recommended.
Suitable for older kids.

It was heavily overcast on the night i went but that didn't really cause an issue as the talk/presentation is so informative and fascinating that everyone was a bit disappointed when it ended and everyone had at least one question to ask. (Although lets not kid ourselves, it would take the most extreme dullard or social vampire a lot of hard work to make the cosmos or a small part of the ultimate question of "life, the universe and everything?" Sound boring!). They also have a cool little planetarium and demonstrated some of the instruments they use. I can't wait to the next time they have an open night as I am going to take my children.

Fantastic experience. The presentation to start the evening and the planetarium visit after were first class. The clouds cleared just long enough for our full party to view the moon and other stars.

Public open evenings are great to inspire your kids about space and astrophysics.

Had a great evening there. Volunteers were knowledgeable and polite. We were just unlucky the skies were a bit cloudy, still a great evening 😁

The county of Hertfordshire was established at a similar time, being named after and administered from Hertford. source
