Take a journey into space at Space Place at Carter Observatory.
Explore the wonders of the southern skies at Space Place. Their planetarium offers a state of the art, digital experience that’ll take you on an unforgettable journey from Wellington to the outer regions of our Solar System and beyond.
Travel through Space Place's very own black hole, handle a space rock and launch a rocket! Telescope viewings are held using the Thomas Cooke telescope during late nights (Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays) as weather permits.
You’ll discover the sheer scale of the Universe and its origins in the Big Bang, the Maori story of creation, and examine the possibility of life on other planets.
This is a fun, interactive and educational experience for the whole family.
I was surprised at how much there was to see and do here. The kids were able to look at the stars through a telescope and the guide was very informative and happy to answer all questions. The exhibit was great, kids loved the space room. Lots of information for adults too. The film was interesting for the kids - a bit hard to understand for us. The night sky that was operated by the guide was excellent- interesting, relevant and easy to understand for everyone. Highly recommend!
Awesome price - make a day of it with the botanical gardens & cable car.
The movie is big long for my little boys 7 and 4yr old. Telescope queue is bit long to see the sky. Generally it is ok to go there once
