Visit the Stardome Observatory & Planetarium

The Stardome Observatory & Planetarium is a unique and fun learning adventure for the whole family. We have a foyer filled with interesting displays and interactive exhibits. There are shows in our Planetarium every night and weekend afternoons about space, astronauts, black holes and many other topics. These shows change every month.

 

We are a LEOTC provider and regularly host groups of school children, as well as a hugely popular school holiday programme. Other groups are also most welcome including seniors, kindergartens, kohunga reo, cubs, girl guides, and other clubs for young and old alike. We can tailor a presentation for your group or you can choose from our wide range of shows on offer.

 

When you enter the Stardome, you will begin an adventure that's truly out-of-this-world! Sit back in our 360^o all-sky planetarium theatre, and enjoy the experience. Featuring 3,500 brilliant stars and delivered by our digital technology with surround sound, you will be able to enjoy amazing views of the evening sky - day or night, rain or shine.

Stardome Observatory and Planetarium is situated on the lower southern slopes of One Tree Hill (or Maungakiekie) - one of Auckland's volcanic cones and most prominent natural landmarks. Cornwall Park includes Maori archaeological sites, playgrounds, BBQ's, walking tracks, and a working farm.
