Lots of interesting and interactive displays. Good place to visit if you have a interest in space. Not a far wall from the cable car.

Stunning place to visit and learn!

I've been here a few times with family and friends. Lots to see and do and they often have talks and videos in the auditorium which can be fascinating.

Add to this the brilliant views of the stars and all around you through the amazing telescopes they have and you can learn and see so much

Metered parking nearby and a fantastic little gift shop and very knowledgable staff makes this a must visit!

The planetarium is very relaxing, you can also enter the gift shop for free, it has lots of space related souvenirs you can buy.

Great observatory near the top of the botanic gardens. They have little film showings once or twice an hour (one geared towards kids, the other more adult). Very fun, interactive exhibits. Great to spend a few hours during the day, probably worth a night visit too!
