NI Science Festival 2026 – Rivers & Stars

Category: Skills & Training

Date: 15th February 2026

Time: 5:00pm – 6:30pm

Location: OM Dark Sky Park and Observatory, 155 Davagh Road, Omagh BT79 8JQ

Discover the wonders of our native rivers and the magical creatures that call them home! Little explorers will learn about Irish river species, from the tiniest critters to the not-so-small and get creative by crafting their own river animals, in our indoor Exhibition Area. Then, head outdoors for a guided walk to visit the beautiful Davagh Water. As the sun sets, junior astronomers will turn their eyes to the skies to explore another kind of river — the Milky Way — in Northern Ireland’s only Dark Sky Park.

Observing is weather dependent.

Suitability: Ages 6+
