Stardome Observatory and Planetarium


Look up! The skies above us are home to stars, satellites, planets, galaxies and a wealth of amazing insights into the world we live in. At the Stardome Observatory, we bring together astronomers and enthusiasts, creating an environment that inspires a love of the sky and the science behind it in even the smallest stargazers. Situated in Auckland's One Tree Hill Domain, our facilities include an amazing 360° digital dome theatre and the 0.5m Zeiss telescope. As New Zealand's leading astronomical attraction, we use the best blend of education and entertainment to share our passion with close to 60,000 New Zealanders every year.

We invite you come and enjoy the view!
