Cosmic Eggstravaganza is once again running this Easter Saturday at the historic Ballarat Observatory.

Hop into some Easter fun: an easter egg hunt, water rocket launching, hands on activities and sunspot counting.

The AstroTalk will be run by a local astronomer: you'll learn what the changing date of Easter has to do with astronomy, and explore easter-themed celestial objects.

Bring walking shoes, a hat and all your space question.

Bookings are essential.

Acknowledgement of Country

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities. These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years. As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.

©️ 2026 Visit Ballarat. This initiative is funded by the City of Ballarat and Tourism Midwest Victoria.
