Looking Up

Kids shouldn’t miss out on the opportunity to explore the celestial sights above Auckland simply because their bedtime is too early to see the stars twinkling above the city lights.

Ignite a wonder of the night sky in your young ones with this live tour of the planets, stars and constellations visible about Auckland on the day of your visit. Looking Up gives you the opportunity to keep the kids happy and well-rested, while exposing them to the twinkling lights above with this late-afternoon, immersive adventure of the cosmos, which mirrors the real night sky in a 360-degree planetarium dome experience.

They’ll be taken on a guided tour of the what to spot in the real-night sky, fly out to our Solar System and visit neighbouring planets and learn about how you can spot constellations and characters hidden among the stars.

Looking Up is the family-friendly, children’s version of the popular Our Night Sky show.

Please arrive at least 15-minutes early for shows. Late entry into the planetarium is not possible once the show has started.
