Stargazing Labs at Maraetai Beach

Skylabs brings you the amazing opportunity to use real telescopes on Maraetai Beach to observe the craters of the Moon, Jupiter’s Great Red Spot, the rings of Saturn, and deep-sky objects like star clusters, nebulae, and galaxies.

Even though the sessions end late, these activities are family-friendly and ideal for kids. You will have a nice opportunity to learn more about the solar system and the Universe, and also to motivate interest in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) in young minds. Some telescopes and additional resources will be available for use. Including telescopes that can be operated by kids.

Bookings are required. The event can be postponed due to weather conditions, so please check with Skylabs before attending the event.
