Each session consists of a 30 minute night sky experience followed by a full dome movie.
Saturday sessions will take you on a captivating journey across the universe. Join one of our highly experienced astronomers as they guide you through constellations, the solar system and beyond. Marvel at the immense scale of the universe and observe the breathtaking beauty of the night skies projected on the eight-metre domed ceiling.
To ensure the safety of staff and patrons, and to abide by State Government regulations, up to 39 people will be permitted inside the Planetarium at any one time.
