Inishowen Maritime Museum & New Planetarium is conveniently located in the old coastguard station, only 100 yards from the Lough Foyle ferry landing at Greencastle. Listed as one of the ‘Wild Atlantic Way’ gems the museum has an extensive collection of artefacts, exhibitions and memorabilia of all things maritime. There really is much to see; from exhibitions including a large collection of tradition boats to exhibits on WWI / WWII, Shipwrecks, Communications and a great deal more.

Our new planetarium projection system gives audiences of all ages an opportunity to view various shows that provides a feeling of full sensory immersion unlike any standard classic planetarium or cinema! Our new full dome theatre runs four shows each day (New for 2015 - Children’s Astronomy Show ‘This is our Sky’) and you do not have to be interested in only astronomy and science to enjoy the experience. We also offer shows on prehistoric sea monsters, our global climate and our kids favourite the Enchanted Reef! Children’s shows are suitable from 4yrs.
Other amenities: 25 seated Tea Room – Nautical gifts & fishing tackle shop – Car / Coach Parking
Open 7 days a week from EASTER - We look forward to seeing you soon!
