We had a private session for an hour at the Macquarie Observatory for our cub pack. It was a fan and educational experience for the children. Guides were wonderful knowledgeable students from Macquarie Uni Astrophysics department. We will visit again.

Very nice and professional staff. They were helpful and answered all of the children questions. They have multiple telescopes that each point to different direction in the sky. Each had very good view of the stars and planets. They went out of the way to setup a dobsonian telescope and manually adjusted for us to see the Saturn. And all in just few minutes! Kids and I loved it. They had excellent photos of the deep space. Definitely a must go place and children will love it. Will definitely return this year when Jupiter's visible.

Very knowledgeable and friendly crew. It was fun to see through the telescopes and learn about stars and universe. Make sure the weather is clear if you want to have the max fun.

We had a great night with my son as part of 2nd Turramurra Scouts activities to visit the very tiny inflated planetarium they had prepared. Me and my son are both space lovers so we loved it very much despite the difficulty of sitting inside the half dome on ground. The presenters were beautiful people. I wish I had time to spend with them and learn from their science. Will go any other chance I get. Highly recommended.

Great super nerd place: really enjoyed the astronomy nights and the opportunity to look through their telescopes and hear some great talks about the astounding way the universe developed.

Very professional and helpful staff. They used telescopes and images and showed us a couple of galaxies and stars. The highlight of the session was when we saw the bands of Jupiter and Saturn's rings. Totally worth the money spent.
