The Planetarium is open during the advertised public sessions, and by appointment only at other times. The Planetarium holds Saturday sessions every first, third and fourth Saturday of the month. During school holidays, there are additional activities that run throughout the week. Bookings are essential for all activities.

The Planetarium is located at the University of South Australia’s Mawson Lakes campus. It is located on Level 2 of Building P, and the office and front desk is on Level 1. Getting to the Planetarium is easy, with many public transport options close by including buses and trains. Car parking is also available on campus. Visit the Mawson Lakes campus web page here to find out more.

If you are visiting the Planetarium on a weekday, the ML6 carpark is available for you to park in. UniSA uses an electronic pay-as-you-go parking system called Parki, which you can access via pay stations adjacent the car park or via an app. To find out more, visit the parking and transport web page. 

To avoid a parking fine, please park in the ML6 carpark or along University Boulevard, then visit a nearby pay station to pay for your park. You will need to know your vehicle's registration number. A pay station is located out the front of the Materials & Minerals Building (white building next to the Planetarium). There is no requirement to display your receipt in your vehicle.
