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.
