Summer at Space Place

Explore the universe this Summer. No international travel needed!

Throughout the school holidays, Space Place will be open daily, with 3 late nights!

Space Place tells the stories of the southern skies through full-dome digital planetarium films and interactive exhibitions.
It’s fun and educational with a special Tuhura Module space play area for tamariki, science information, and plenty of stellar planetarium movies to choose from. The store is full of stellar science gifts, toys, books and tools, for both young and old.

Space Place is home to a state of the art Sky-Skan digital full-dome planetarium system hosting a range of planetarium movies for every age. Each film also has a 15 minute live Night’s Sky presentation (except Matariki Dawn and Family of the Sun), so visitors can get to know their night skies.

There is no better place to learn about the beauty and the greatness of the universe around us than at Space Place.

Please note that children under the age of 14 must be accompanied by an adult at all times and last entry is 30 mins before close.
