“It was our first visit to the Stargazing and Digital Planetarium Live Show and I recommend this if you have not been here before. There are three main segments to this event. It starts with an informative tour of the night sky in the Omni Theatre, where a Science Educator introduces you to the universe and its constellations. This is followed by stargazing at the observatories, where you can get a closer look at celestial objects through various telescopes. Indoor activity stations offer "I am a Young Astronomer" activities, such as crafting a paper sundial and a simple astrolabe. This event happens nearly every Friday night. There are 7.30pm and 8.30pm slots to choose from. $17/pax.”

“Every Friday there is a star gazing activity at the observatory. There is a digital show at the Omnimax theater follow by looking at the observatory . This time we got to look at the Jupiter and Saturn. It’s really nice and clear with the telescope. Very educational too with the narration from the staff. 👍. A long wait but it’s worth queueing for.”

“I have a very very unique and exciting experience here My plan was to see Jupiter and Saturn However I saw the Jewel Box! Which is so out of expectation! I can’t imagine the light was actually 6500 years ago when even Egypt still not existed.”
