🪐 went here yesterday, had a very fun, informative experience. The representative from the Astronomical Society was very wonderful, explained everything in a very enjoyable accessible manner and was open to questions from all. Would definitely recommend this experience to anyone interested in Astronomy and telescopes! 🪐

Such a nice experience! A lot of merchandise and it is better in summer :)

We went to star gaze but the weather had different plans for us. It was cloudy and overcast so the guides had to improvise. They were fantastic! Knowledgeable, no question was too big or small. A fantastic tour of the buildings and of course the telescopes themselves were impressive. I'd like to go again on a clear night.

A very interesting experience and tour taking you through the history of Astronomy in Melbourne, in addition to seeing (relatively) nearby planets and constellations from the telescope. You of course need good weather, but it was really interesting nonetheless listening to the staff and seeing the various different telescopes at different sites. Very good tour and would highly recommend to occupy an evening!

This 200 year-old facility is interesting to see. The Astronomy Society of Victoria organised a guided tour for this building offering plenty of historical insight, and interesting astronomical knowledge, handon telescope view for the general public. The tour is very much recommended.
