Enjoyed the time at Wappa Falls Observatory. Learnt and saw a lot of things which is great for us. Excellent commentary by Owen. We have been to a few observatories - all have been worthwhile for us. We learn new things each time.

It is definitely worth a look whether it is during the day or night. Owen is very knowledgeable about everything to do with space and beyond. Very relaxing setting including FREE bbq's and seating areas for families. Humorous and informative show that will keep you entertained for hours that is suitable for all ages.
