With its golden beaches, native bush, volcanic activity and adventurous hiking trails, the Coromandel Peninsula is a local favourite. It's not only because of its sub-tropical weather and 400-kilometres of beaches, but it's also the ideal location for stargazing.
Admire the night sky from the Stargazers Observatory. Learn how to recognise different constellations and hear stories of how Maori and Polynesian voyagers used them to navigate. Alastair will share his fascinating knowledge of the southern night sky. Have a bit of fun using the green laser pointer to recognise different bright stars.
Wander through the scale model of the Solar System. Be amazed by the billion-year-old meteorites, the history of the Spitz A2 planetarium projector and 150 million-year-old dinosaur bones. Socialise with other visitors over a hot drink and enjoy the views.
