Make your special day unforgettable by celebrating at the iconic Perth Observatory! Our unique birthday experience combines astronomy, creativity, and fun for all ages.

The party is divided into three exciting parts:

1. Observatory Tours:

It’s an unforgettable experience, offering a deeper connection to the mysteries of the universe.

• Astrographic Telescope Visit
You'll have the chance to visit the historic Astrographic Telescope and learn about its operation. This experience offers fascinating insight into the history of astronomy and the technology behind these remarkable instruments. Explore how these telescopes work and understand their role in advancing our knowledge of the universe.

Indigenous Australians, the world’s first astronomers, have studied and interpreted the cosmos for navigation, calendars, ceremonies, cultural lore, songlines, and art for thousands of years. Indigenous astronomy is an essential part of Australia’s heritage, and sharing these stories and knowledge of the night sky fosters a deeper understanding and appreciation of the universe across all Australian cultures.
