Earth Sanctuary World Nature Centre

Want to experience something out of this world visit the Earth Sanctuary just outside Alice Springs in the NT. My family and I were blown away seeing planets from the telescopes as if we could just reach out and touch them. Tom, Dan and their Father Joey are the perfect teachers of the stars and universe. We were blessed to be able to camp at the sanctuary. Showers and toilets clean and with no light pollution you can lay in your swag and just look up at the night sky and count falling stars. Beautiful & quiet.

What a fabulous night. Great people, food, information and a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Skip was a great entertainer and sin ger. Love to go back.

Brilliant evening at this amazing place made even better thanks to our MC and entertainer Barry Skipsey

Amazing food, amazing views, amazing entertainment - local girls aboriginal drumming group, and this food creation- i think it was a huge trifle - made on the back of a truck in front of our eyes! What an experience.

Unfortunately we were a little disappointed at $41 each. The guys where fantastic and the facilities where great, lovely feel to the setup area where you can sit and have a beer or wine however the telescope time was very short viewing the same thing, the moon, I perhaps thought there would be a few things being shown via the telescopes with more time however it was a quick glimpse then a 30min talk on the stars, great knowledge shared by great people however felt ripped at the price sorry.Supposed to be 1.5 hour show but only went for 1 hour!

Awesome experience sleeping under the stars in swags on a dark sky night. Very well organised with super friendly and knowledgeable staff. Highly recommend this activity for something different when going to Alice Springs. We will definitely be back.

The Earth Sanctuary is a fantastic venue for corporate events and weddings, with an authentic Outback feel that is unique to Alice Springs. The Falzon family have built an incredible venue and go above and beyond to ensure their clients are well taken care of, whether it's a big or small event, their flexibility and friendliness is outstanding. A bus service to and from the venue and full catering is all available onsite so everything can be done in house. There are a range of informative and entertaining experiences available including star gazing talks, cooking classes and other great hands on activities that are perfect for corporate team building events. I've photographed many corporate events and weddings at The Earth Sanctuary and can highly recommend them as an outstanding Alice Springs venue!

We visited Earth Sanctuary last week for dinner and the star talk. Unfortunately, we were rained out from the stars so had dinner inside the homestead but it was so delicious it didn't matter! My fave meal of the trip - great, home-cooked, tasty fare and they catered to my dietary requirements with ease (thank you!).Everyone that worked there was super friendly and welcoming, and Danny's passion during the astronomy talk made me wish we were staying overnight for the full experience. A must-do when visiting Alice Springs.

Fantastic experience - was able to purchase a drink from the bar, use a couple telescopes and learn about space and navigation from their knowledgeable and experienced staff. Plus, what better place to look up than in the outback?! I would highly recommend!

Be sure to take your pictures during sundown. Amazing! Great entertainment and food!
