Matariki is a powerful celebration grounded in the astronomical knowledge of our tūpuna, who looked to the dawn sky to mark the turning of the seasons and prepare for winter.
Step inside our immersive planetarium and experience this story brought vividly to life beneath a perfect night sky - free from clouds and cold mornings.
Journey through the stars as we explore how astronomy and mātauranga Māori come together during Matariki, revealing deep connections between the heavens, the land, and our people.
With only 30 seats available per tour, spaces are limited and sessions fill up quickly. Please secure your place early.
