About today's deal

Embarrassed adults have been known to fail physics tests after answering ‘intergalactic comedy vehicle and home of Craig Charles’ when asked to describe a Red Dwarf.
 
Get up to light-speed on your astronomy with today’s itison deal for two adult tickets for just £10, or a family ticket for two adults and up to three children at just £14, giving entry to the Scottish Dark Sky Observatory on the edge of the Galloway Forest Park.
 
That’s a star-studded 50% saving!
 
Exploring the cosmos doesn’t get any better than at the Scottish Dark Sky Observatory, which is the only Dark Sky Park in the UK and the only IDA (International Dark-Sky Association) gold tier park to have a public use observatory.
 
Today’s deal offers couples, friends and families a totally unique and educational night out, where you can star-gaze using an open-air telescope or the robotic telescope in the cosy dome area, learn about the night sky in the lecture room from the resident astronomers or take things outdoors and go star spotting on the observation deck.
 
Set within the Galloway Forest Dark Sky Park near Dalmellington, the observatory boasts the magical surroundings of Craigengillan which has been rated by Historic Scotland as one of the top four Designed Landscapes in the country.
 
Get to know your red dwarfs from your Red Dwarfs with today’s deal from just £10!
