Look through our safe solar telescope with one of our knowledgeable astronomers before exploring the Universe in our Planetarium or Space Theatre. On a clear day, you can see the Sun, bright stars and maybe the Moon or Venus!

Day tours run for 30 minutes and include a planetarium or theatre show as well as a viewing through one of our telescopes.
