Embark on a captivating journey through the mysteries of the cosmos with the observatory tours at the Gravity Discovery Centre. Nestled under dark, pristine skies,  the Gravity Discovery Centre & Observatory offers an unparalleled opportunity to explore the wonders of the universe. Guided by seasoned astronomers, visitors are treated to a mesmerizing tour of celestial bodies, distant galaxies, and cosmic phenomena. Our 5 large telescopes unveil the secrets of the night sky, while engaging explanations demystify complex astronomical concepts. Whether you’re a seasoned stargazer or new to the wonders of space, the observatory tours at the Gravity Discovery Centre promise an unforgettable adventure that expands horizons and ignites a passion for the infinite realm above. The tour includes a 30 minute presentation, a laser tour to showcase constellations, followed by stargazing.


Stargazing visits are held regardless of the weather. If viewing through the telescopes is not possible, due to inclement weather, a fun and informative session will be held in the GDC Theatre and a cloudy night pass will be issued (freereturn).


The Gravity Café will be open until half an hour before your session starts and dinner bookings are preferred but not essential.



This ticket also includes entry to the Gravity Discovery Centre on the day of the tour. You are welcome to arrive as early as you like on the day and explore our indoor galleries. Please keep in mind that if you would like to do the outdoor activities such as the tower climb and the solar system walk, these need to be done before dark. Don’t forget to bring a warm jacket during the winter months as it can get really cold inside the observatory.

If you would like to order food from the café pre-orders are preferred. The café closes 30 minutes before the start of the tour to allow everyone enough time to finish their meal. If you have ordered food please let reception know you have arrived and are ready for your food at least 30 minutes before the start of the tour.
