Best Observatory Sunshine Coast Near Me

Millie Xing (Music together Yep): This was an incredibly amazing experience! Lainie and Adrian were very patient with us and explained everything thoroughly, their knowledge and passion is just mind-blowing. Highly recommend for every age, very personal and educational experience. On a clear night could clearly see the Milky Way spanning across the night sky with limited light pollution there, absolutely wonderful. Southern Cross is very clear and can see many constellations.

J Baby: Laine and Adrian were amazing, unfortunately it was a relatively cloudy night so we weren’t able to see much. They gave us the option on if we wanted to go ahead or if we wanted to reschedule, due to my parents availability we decided to just go through with our booking knowing the likelihood of us seeing anything was relatively low. Adrian sat us down and showed us as much as he could, we came away from the experience with knew knowledge and keen for another try.

Annette Ireland: Lainie and Adrian are clearly passionate about astronomy and imparting their knowledge to visitors. Ask any questions and they’ll likely share an incredible depth of info

Simant Singh: . I took my kids as well and it really was a educational experience for us all.

littleczbear: .We got to see inside his observatory which had an amazing hand made telescope that was 8K

Lauren Hughes: Thanks to Owen for taking our last minute booking for 3 people tonight. It was a very clear night and all had a great experience with Owen showing us a real assortment of things in the night sky through 3 different telescopes. His passion and knowledge is very impressive and made for an interesting night. Do recommend!

Lynn Watson: Such an awesome experience for young and old. So much knowledge imparted to visitors. Will be back to experience the night show.

Tim McDowell: A wonderful experience. Thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Owen is a wealth of knowledge and his passion is infectious.

Jared Strapp: A unique, entertaining and educational experience for the family. Probably better for the 10+ age groups as young kids will probably be a bit bored.Also, even though the night sessions supposedly start at 6.30, you'll miss out on stuff if you don't arrive at least half hour before, and if you arrive at 6.30 you'll be told that you're late by the eccentric owner, who is the same bloke who told you the session start time in the first place... Very odd, but worth the visit nonetheless.

Heath Stone: Wonderful and entertaining!

Susie O'Reilly: Wappa falls Observatory is one of my fav places!

Rick Podger: Great place. Very knowledgeable team.

Mark Cousins: I would like to go there once a week. Owner is as much a part of the show as the telescopes are. Passionate, eclectic, personable and knowledge spilling from every pore. You will be spell bound and amazed by what he has done with almost nothing. Just think recycling

Andrew Moss: Sea Life Sunshine Coast at Mooloolaba is an absolute must-visit for all marine enthusiasts! My daughter was captivated by the stunning array of aquatic wonders. The underwater tunnel offered an up-close encounter with majestic rays, and mesmerizing sharks. The knowledgeable staff were eager to share fascinating insights about the marine life, making the experience even more enriching. The touch pools were a hit with kids and adults alike, providing a hands-on interaction with starfish and sea cucumbers. The attention to detail in creating natural habitats for the creatures is commendable. Moreover, the seal show was a delightful experience that left everyone smiling. The whole journey was both educational and awe-inspiring. I couldn't recommend Sea Life Sunshine Coast enough; it's an immersive and magical adventure that will leave you with lasting memories!
