Come and enjoy the ultimate Sydney Observatory experience at night, learn about the universe, view the stars and planets through our telescopes and experience a 3-D space theatre sensation.
All night time tours are guided by an experienced astronomer and must be pre-booked. Evening tours of approximately two hours duration are offered seven days a week throughout the year (closed on the evenings of Christmas Day and Good Friday). The tours are held regardless of weather.
How to make a booking for a night visit
You can also make a booking by calling Sydney Observatory (02) 9921 3485.
Payment for night tickets is not refundable.
Bookings may be transferred to another night - but only by telephoning us on (02) 9921 3485 by noon on the day you are scheduled to attend.
