Te Awamutu Space Centre is a museum and activity centre suitable for all ages. We love sharing our passion for space and astronomy but we're not just for space geeks! Most of our visitors arrive with no real interest in space but end up finding it more interesting and more fun than they expected.
Our exhibits and activities include:
- A collection of space-related artifacts and memorabilia.
- Information displays about space and astronomy.
- Interactive displays, games, toys, puzzles, etc.
- Telescopes, including a daytime solar telescope.
- Virtual Reality.
- Public events and group bookings.
- School visits.
- Sidewalk astronomy.
- Guest speaking engagements.
