Another popular place our guests have enjoyed! Learn about planets, stars, constellations and galaxies and New Zealand’s contribution to astronomy and space sciences. Best to book. A 25 minute walk from the cottage or take the cable car up from the city.

Travel through the southern skies in Space Place's state-of-the-art planetarium. Explore the exhibition and take a look at the night sky through the historic Thomas Cooke telescope.
