School visits

We invite schools, groups and clubs (children and adults) to visit the Tauranga Observatory. As well as offering telescope viewing of the Moon and planets (weather permitting), we also offer our popular “Astronomy 101” program for all ages. It’s a wonderful opportunity for children and adults alike to learn about astronomy and appreciate the beauty of celestial objects.

For group bookings, children are free and adults are $5 each. We gratefully welcome koha / donations to help support the running of the observatory. To maximize your visiting time at the observatory, it is recommended that money be collected before arriving at the observatory. We are happy to take cash but online payment may be easier. Please note that we do not have EFTPOS.

If you would like to make a booking you can email us at tas.secretary@gmail.com or use our contact form here – http://tas.org.nz/contact

Please be sure to include a contact phone number.
