I am not really into astronomy so it didn't really enthrall me as much as it did my friend. I just sort of went along so probably the problem was me. More

I would rate this as OK. More a relic of the past, perhaps not presented very well. it was a bit of a sixer for the childern ( i mean it went above their heads, they were more interested in swords, kings, archery and the like) . not something i would suggest as interesting. More

Being honest, if you're just walking around you would admire the architecture of the place...to understand what is going on, you would need a guide.
