Gingin Observatory shows off Western Australia’s most spectacular natural asset – our night sky. This world-class observatory is located only 1 hour north of Perth. Just far enough away from city lights to offer perfect dark nights for spectacular stargazing.
Entertaining stargazing nights are fun and fascinating; enjoyable and enlightening; and easy for everyone to understand.
Regular stargazing evenings and a variety of special events that feature astronomical highlights are held throughout the year. Stargaze through telescopes, including Australia’s largest telescope available for public access.
See planets, stars, galaxies, meteors and more. Tour the Universe on the big screen with expert astronomers and discover more about the wonders of space. It’s fun for the whole family and right in Perth’s backyard.
Western Australia is the best spot on Earth for stargazing. Make the most of it!
