Experience a guided tour of the historic observatory buildings, learn about the universe with an AstroTour Movie and view the night sky with a astronomer and a telescope. If it is too cloudy for viewing a virtual night sky tour will replace viewing or a raincheck for the viewing portion can be arranged.

These nights are available for anyone to book (bookings essential) except where the site has been privately hired.

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.

©️ 2025 Visit Ballarat. This initiative is funded by the City of Ballarat and Tourism Midwest Victoria.
