Explore Space Place

Learn about the planets, stars, constellations and galaxies.

These school holidays, explore the Space Place galleries to learn an Aotearoa perspective on astronomy. Touch a real marama moon rock, see if you can pull the sun like Maui, and step inside the Tūhura Space Module to see what an astronaut packs on a mission.

See the School Holidays Planetarium Schedule: kick back and relax with increased screenings of whānau-friendly films during the school holidays. 

Use the Take a Red Rocket to Space combo and get 20% off a return trip on the Cable Car and general admission to Space Place, and 2-for-1 kids pizzas at Cable Top Eatery.

Pick up a Tamariki Star Trail at the front desk during the school holidays, free with admission.

And don’t miss Blast Off! Bottle Rockets happening on Saturday 4th October to celebrate Space Week.

Admission fees apply | Open 7 days a week | 10am–5pm on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays, and late nights 10am-11pm on Tuesday, Friday and Saturday.
