Had the best time here. Lots to look at, great snacks, really enjoyed the planetarium show and the chance to view the night sky with the telescopes. Keen to try to go back when the Zeiss telescope is open!

Visiting Stardome Observatory & Planetarium was a highlight of our trip to Auckland. The planetarium shows were fascinating and well presented, offering a great mix of entertainment and education. The visuals were stunning, and the narrator kept everyone engaged, from kids to adults. We also enjoyed the interactive displays in the foyer and learned a lot about the stars and space.nnThe observatory session was amazing — we got to see celestial objects through the telescope, which was a unique experience. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and patient in answering all our questions.nnIt’s a perfect place for families, couples, or anyone with an interest in astronomy. Highly recommend for an educational and fun day out!

Visiting Auckland from Sydney and thought I’d check this place out. I had looked at the website and was under the impression that there would be daily “day shows”, or at least a short educational film about space. When I arrived however the person at the front desk informed me that only the gallery area was open during the day, and the shows are only in the evening. Seeing my disappointment, they added in a very condescending tone that maybe I should “google places before just turning up”. I was stunned at the rudeness. Instead of trying to inform me of what I could experience, they dismissed me entirely. Suffice to say I left immediately. This staff member was the rudest person I’ve encountered for a long time.

A wonderful place to visit and enjoy a bit of learning.  As a visitor from the northern hemisphere it's exciting to learn about the stars we never get to see.nnWonderfully curated and easy to navigate, add in that the park surrounding the building really allows you to soak in what you've just experienced and really appreciate the speck of dust we inhabit.

I was here with a few friends for The Moon Milestone Show. The staff was very friendly and approachable. I must say, the narrator of the show nailed it! It was well narrated and we were loaded with lots of information about the Apollo 11 launch on the Moon. To finish this and as an icing, we also had a look at the stars, planets - Saturn and Jupiter, the Moon and few clusters in the sky through a Telescope! The experience was just too good! The staff here was very welcoming, friendly and was answering all our questions. Some displays based on the Apollo 11 launch themes were made with LEGO! : I would highly recommend this place, especially this show and would return here for more! Cheers
