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 fun than they expected.
Our exhibits and activities include:
- Information displays about space and astronomy.
- A collection of space-related artifacts and memorabilia.
- Interactive displays, games, toys, puzzles, etc.
- Virtual Reality.
- School visits.
- Telescopes, including a daytime solar telescope.
Booking a visit: Due to space limitations, we encourage all visitors to book in advance. Although you are welcome to call in at any time to see if we have spaces available, we can't guarantee that you'll be able to have a full visit if you haven't booked a session.
Adults (18+): $12.00
Children (3–17): $8.00
Infants (0–2): Free

The Space Centre is run as a business but it is an ongoing struggle to fund all our education programmes. See how you can help us.
