Spring Sky

Spring brings change to both land and sky. As dusk settles over Aotearoa, the centre of our Milky Way galaxy sweeps overhead, filling the heavens with glittering star fields, colourful nebulae, and some of the finest celestial sights visible all year.

Step inside our warm, comfortable planetarium and leave the weather behind. Travel across the winter constellations as we uncover the legends of Scorpius and Sagittarius, explore the rich star clouds of the Milky Way, and reveal the hidden wonders of the southern sky.

We'll also look toward the eastern horizon where Matariki and the stars of Taurus rise higher before dawn each day, heralding the coming of spring and the promise of brighter, warmer days ahead.

Whether you're new to astronomy or a lifelong stargazer, this guided tour will help you connect with the sky above and the stories that generations before us used to navigate, teach, and understand their place in the world.

Join us this winter and discover why our ancestors looked up in wonder.
