What to expect
You'll move through the centre at your own pace, starting with the museum galleries where exhibits make planetary science tangible rather than theoretical. The planetarium session drops you under a realistic night sky—the kind you rarely see from Earth. Expect hands-on activities where you engage multiple senses: workshops let you experience how the solar system works beyond just looking at it. Staff guide sessions rather than lecture, so curiosity drives the experience. The telescope observations depend on weather and time of day, but when conditions allow, you'll see actual celestial detail through quality optics.
