  Great set-up with friendly proprietors. Peter was very knowledgeable and humorous. The weather was not kind - too much cloud cover but did get to see the Moon and Saturn. Would recommend for everyone.

  It was quick and easy to book our visit here, they had a few different telescopes pointed at different constellations, planets, moon...

  Absolutely phenomenal experience. Enjoyed myself the whole time and was in absolute awe of the sky. Coming from Sydney we don't see anything other than light pollution and to see all the star constellations and even seeing the photography through my SLR camera was spectacular. Would recommend to anyone. Thanks Peter!

  In a word, "Sensational". Three telescopes rotating between numerous celestial bodies. Excellent information and a "must be seen" experience. My wife and I took our 7 and 4 year old who were both very entertained. The best money for experience possible!

  Here just before a full moon. It was amazing peering through the telescope and seeing the moon up so close. This being the case, however, made the night sky very bright and not ideal for viewing other celestial objects. It was still fantastic and got to see some planets, globular clusters and even got a shot of a nebula on my own camera. Defiantly worth while whatever the time depending on what you want to focus on.

  The only thing I think it could be changed here is to organise crowds by equal number per telescopes on a rotation basis so if you finish telescope 4 you go to 5 and so forth. Also, the volume of the documentary was not as loud as the crowd :-(, and Peter could use some sort of mic or speaker so we could hear him over screaming babies and toddlers... we didn't have Q&A time either. Other than these pointers, this was a great visit and I highly recommend it to anyone in the area.
