We are excited to announce that our planetarium galleries will be undergoing renovations to refresh our exhibits and telescope room.  

This is the final stage of an ongoing renovation project to modernise Space Place and bring an Aotearoa-perspective to our experiences. 

To allow for these improvements, Space Place will be closed from Monday 3 March to Friday 14 March. During this time there will be no gallery admissions, planetarium shows, or events  – with the exception of the free outdoor telescope viewing of the Total Lunar Eclipse.  

Space Place will reopen partially on Saturday 15 March, with planetarium shows and events resuming but sections of the galleries remaining closed until Saturday 12 April. 

During the partial opening period, visitors will receive discounted entry to Space Place. 

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause, and appreciate your understanding as we work to create an exciting new experience for our visitors. 

We can’t wait for our new galleries to open so we can share our love of space and science with all Pōneke.  

This is part of a multi-year renewal project by Wheako Pōneke Experience Wellington with the support of Wellington City Council.  

Stay tuned for updates and sneak peeks of what’s to come!  

Thank you for you supporting Space Place. 

Sincerely, 
Space Place
