Perth Observatory, Bickley

Such an amazing place! I’m embarrassed to say I should’ve visited here ages ago. The night star-display was so much fun; learned heaps about the constellations & planets too. Def fun for a night out as a birthday/ catch-up group or for the whole family ✨🌙🪐

Great family outing in the hills. Affordable and enjoyable. Volunteers are very welcoming and full of knowledge and history of the Observatory. Granted 400k per year for the next 4 years, thanks to our State Government, to hopefully inspire students from all over

Fantastic experience. We visited and joined the Perth Winter Nights tour. Doors opened at 7 and we could take a look around the museum and gift shop. Tour started at 730 with the volunteer guides walking us through the museum before we headed up to the domes where we viewed several celestial objects.. Really amazing experience.. Look out for the Emu in the sky! Unfortunately I don't have more pictures.. Would have loved to take some at the domes, but it was dark (can't see stars if it isn't dark!) and the phone light would kill my night vision 😅

The volunteers are always willing to share their knowledge and show you the grounds and telescopes. Tour the museum for some great history of WA's commitment to Astronomy and the space race.

Absolutely loved the Halloween 🎃 star gazing adventure, despite being lightly cloudy we still saw Saturn, Jupiter, and Venus. The volunteer staff were very helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly. Can't wait to use my cloudy night discount for a return visit. Some young kids in my group had audibly awesome night! Thanks to all the volunteers again!!
