Sydney Observatory

Fun and very engaging tour for Sydney Observatory. Love Holly's tour and enjoyed the view of the Sydney Harbour at night!

Experienced a night tour which was so much fun! Our tour guide (who's name I've annoyingly forgotten) was excellent. A student radio astronomer his knowledge and humour were top tier. The tour was meant to be an hour but we easily did 80-90 minutes by the end, including plenty of questions with existential answers at the end. Would highly recommend for any astronomy fans.

If you can do a tour at night at the Observatory .
Very Friendly staff
The Staff has avase knowledge of the history of the Observatory and the items which are displayed there.

This place is beautiful. Please check out the Australian figs. They love you and want you to hang out with them. God bless you 🙏 ❤️

Have been to sydney Observatory couple times. It has the best view can see cleary for the star and good views
Unfortunately today we went there weather not good enough.

The Sydney Observatory is a historic observatory in Sydney, Australia, with a rich history dating back to 1858. It's not only a center for astronomical research but also serves as a museum and public observatory, allowing visitors to learn about astronomy and stargaze through its telescopes.

Attended last nights 10pm session. It was amazing!! Highly recommend anyone to attend while you’re in Sydney. The tour was a great mix of history, astronomy with great practical elements to get involved with. Elvie was our tour guide and if you get her, you’re in for a great tour. 10/10 would recommend, definitely if you’re looking for something different too 😁

I noticed that most of the comments about the Observatory, are actually about the view you can have from there. Don't get me wrong, the view is indeed outstanding, and it is a must visit spot in Sydney, however, I want to comment about the guided visit to the Observatory itself. Yesterday, was Valentine's Day and I took my loved one to see the stars from the telescopes there. Unfortunately, the weather didn't contribute for that, it was even raining, and we couldn't use the telescopes. But still, we were amazed about the visit. Our guide, Jack, was simply FANTASTIC! We have learnt very interesting things about the Observatory, how it was used, how it's being used, the flags communication (fascinating!), and lots of other bits and pieces really interesting. It's a paid visit, but it worth every cent. Once again, I'd like to thank Jack his kindness, knowledge and passion for what he is doing there. It was a great night! Cheers.
