Embark on a captivating journey through the mysteries of the cosmos with an Evening Astronomy Tour at the Gravity Discovery Centre & Observatory. 

Nestled under dark, pristine skies our Observatory offers an unparalleled opportunity to explore the wonders of the universe.

Guided by a team of knowledgeable, passionate Astronomers the tour includes a twenty minute presentation, laser guided tour of showcase constellations and unique stargazing session in our state of the art Observatory - providing visitors a mesmerizing tour of celestial bodies, distant galaxies, and cosmic phenomena.

Stargazing visits are held regardless of the weather. If viewing through the telescopes is not possible, due to inclement weather, a fun and informative session will be held in the GDC Theatre and a cloudy night pass will be issued (free return).

The Gravity Discovery Centre and Observatory works in partnership with Indigenous Tours to showcase cultural storytelling and Astronomy. Following storytelling the Indigenous constellations will be identified during a laser guided tour of the night sky, before moving onward to the observatory to gaze at the stars. The Gravity Discovery Centre and Observatory hosts an Aboriginal Storytelling and Astronomy night once a month. 

Public night stargazing visits are held regardless of the weather. If viewing through the scopes is not possible, due to inclement weather, a fun and informative session will be held in the GDC Theatre and a cloudy night pass will be issued (free return).
