Great small museum in the Frisian city of Franeker. Oldest remaining working planetarium in the world. Dates back from 1774. Well preserved and fully working. Little over an houre from Amsterdam. Combine with visit to Franeker.

Interesting museum to visit, a lot to see and learn about the universe. Also interesting for young(er) kids. Entrance fee was about 6 euro (adults) so that's reasonable.

Amazing place, a 250 year old planetarium on the ceiling of a living room. All made in Eise Eisinga's spare time. The surrounding part has substantially improved in the last few years, with a lot more attention for Eisinga, his family, his place in society, and why he started to make the planetarium in the first place. Also nice for the kids, they liked the background story, and they were offered a seperate quest (the grown-ups had to help with some of the questions). A must visit when in Friesland.

Fascinating historical device kept and presented well. Unfortunately the rest of the museum was a bit confusing (for English) with unclear signage. We'll worth a visit.

Fantastic museum to go to, to learn everything about the planets in our solar system. A very nice in person explanation about Eise Eisinga's home made planetarium! A nice challenge for the kids to be actively researching the museum ? ? A must go when visiting Friesland!
