Sydney Observatory

You are here Home  > New South Wales  > Sydney >  Sydney Observatory

Sydney Observatory is Australia’s oldest observatory. It features an exhibition on astronomy and its context in Australian history.

A daytime visit gives you access to the gardens and the exhibits inside the complex, but does not give you access to the telescope domes, telescope viewing or the planetarium.

Nighttime sessions run for around 90 minutes give you access to telescope viewing. If telescope viewing is not feasible due to sky conditions then a planetarium session will be provided instead.
