It's nice to learn new things in southern hemisphere but would be better if there was 1 or 2 more pieces of the telescope. It was a cold night. I did not prepare for the desert cold as I come from hot humid climate!

The guide was really interesting and the sky was just gorgeous!

If you are familiar with the northern hemisphere, you should experience the sky of the southern hemisphere.

This was a fantastic show to see and the guide was very informative. We could see the moon and Saturn very clearly through telescopes and so many bright stars. It was very cold being outside, so make sure you wear warm clothes. Well worth doing.

Excellent. If you have any interest at all well worth doing.

Our guide knew the night sky like the back of his hand. He gave excellent explanations and was easy to follow. If you have any interest in the stars, this is a must do! It's also very children friendly. We also had fantastic views through the telescope.

A truly unique experience. Being from the Northern hemisphere, we don't get a chance to see the night sky in all of its splendor. Very affordable.

Really enjoyed looking at the night sky. We could actually see the edge of the galaxy. We got great information from the astronomer and even saw different stars through the telescope. I just wish it lasted longer.

We were fortunate enough to experience a lunar eclipse and had excellent, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic guides.

Some people on our tour expected a full observatory. This one was open air and was out of this world. The guide was a gold mine of information and also very passionate. Don't miss this one, especially since it's such a good value. You will not see a night sky like this anywhere else.

I've never seen anything like the stars here, they were breath-taking. I would never have believed that the sky could look like that, if ever there was a place to make you realise how small a part we are of the universe then this is it! The guides knowledge was unparalleled and he made sure the whole thing was informative and entertaining. Definitely one of the highlights of my whole trip to Oz.

We saw Saturn! That was amazing enough, but we also learned about stars in both hemispheres and were very proud of ourselves when we spotted Venus!

Interesting and informative. Didn't like the style of the guide, a bit rude at times. And make sure you rug up in winter, it's cold at night!

Amazing skies! This was definitely worthwhile. We would have given it four stars, but the presenter used bad language with our children around, and I wasn't too keen about that. It was very cold - bring a blanket if you are going in July!

Professional guide at the Observatory and really an unforgettable starry sky. Highly recommend for those living in a city with no stars at all, like me.
