Voucher recipient may have up to 15 friends and family members share in the experience at no extra charge.

When can the voucher be used?

The stargazing voucher can be used on a week night or weekend night anytime of the year, except 24-31 December and subject to our astronomer's availability. Start times vary depending on season. In the wintertime we can start as early as 5:30pm. During midsummer we would start at 10:30pm or later.

What if it is raining or cloudy?

Naturally cloud and rain is always a threat. When booking the stargazing experience we recommend that you choose  2 or 3 nights initially on which you’d be happy for us to run the experience for you. If it is cloudy / raining on all selected nights then we’ll simply roll the experience forward to an alternative date that works. We can keep rolling the experience forward until we are able to run the stargazing for you.
