Public Night at the Observatory
Are you looking for an astronomy fix, or a special present for somebody? Look no further!
Observatory visits are evening sessions targeted at members of the public who would like to see an observatory in action and (weather permitting) look through the telescopes.
Each fully guided session includes tours of the domes and museum and an introduction to the night sky. If the sky is clear, the visit may include viewing through the observatory telescopes.
The cost is $50 per adult and $25 per child over 5. NOT SUITABLE for children under 5 Years of age.
Observatory visits are incredibly popular and the income from them supports vital maintenance, so our cancellation policy is strict.
Cancellation Policy
If MBO cancels a session all ticket holders will be given a full refund.
MBO will cancel a session for the following reason:
- If the fire danger is rated Extreme or Catastrophic or a Total Fire Ban is declared
- If forecast conditions are likely to make the session unsafe or unpleasant for conditions (for example if the observatory has no power)
Tickets cancelled by the purchaser more than 48hrs prior to the event will be refunded minus a $10 charge per ticket.
Tickets cancelled within 48 hours of the event cannot be refunded
