Have you ever gazed up at the night sky and wondered what secrets the stars hold? Are you fascinated by the vastness and mystery of space? If so, we invite you to come on a journey with us to the stars.

Te Whatu Stardome Observatory & Planetarium, located in the stunning Maungakiekie One Tree Hill, have been sharing their love and knowledge of all things space since 1967. Here, you can enjoy live presenter-led shows and films in the state-of-the-art 360-degree indoor dome planetarium, complete with comfortable, reclining seats.

Their selection of educational and entertaining films caters to people of all ages, and we even offer sci-fi evenings for those with a taste for adventure.

After each evening show (weather permitting), you can experience telescope viewing in the courtyard and witness the beauty of the planets up close.
