- Peter GilesAugust 22, 2010Great place to visit in the day, interesting exhibition and it's free. Did you know James Cook came to Australia to view the transit of Venus in 1769?
qwerty.mrrJanuary 8, 2019closed for a private wedding party when we visited...but here’s a hidden gem as a place we can enjoy a panoramic view of the city from the hill!- ELS Universal English CollegeAugust 19, 2011Visit this museum on astronomy and history. Daytime admission to the gardens and the Observatory exhibitions is free – does not include visiting telescope towers & viewings and 3D theatre sessions.
- Marie PetersFebruary 19, 2010Go to the Sydney Observatory and do one of their Night Telescope Viewings. On a clear night you'll get to use both their telescopes – including one from 1874. Really an amazing night! Read more

"80's exhibition is great. The science exhibitions are also a nostalgia trip as most of them are at least 30 years old. Magic Garden is also great for kids."
