Sydney Observatory

Great 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?

Visit 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.

closed 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 !

Have been a center for astronomical observation and research for almost 125 years

Go 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

Make sure to do the day and/or night tours on your visit!

Grab the iPhone walking tour app on the wifi on your way out for an astronomical walking tour of the Rocks. http://bit.ly/mbnIuW

Grab a ticket, get a tour and see the stars !!!!

Come by for the planetarium & get lost in stargazing!!!

It is worth doing a tour here.

Best sunset in the world

Great view , better than other paid ones

Very interesting but displays are very static. More hands on would be nice. Free entry.

Good view point over Sydney

I wish this place was my house.
