Experience a night to remember by booking an Exclusive Night Tour of the Observatory for your group or club. Our Exclusive Night Tours offer an unparalleled opportunity to explore the captivating night sky through our state-of-the-art telescopes. Our knowledgeable and enthusiastic volunteers will guide you on a grand tour of the Southern Hemisphere’s sky, showcasing a range of celestial objects including nebulas, planets, dying stars, and enormous star clusters.

At the Observatory, we understand that every group has unique needs, and we are happy to tailor the evening schedule to suit your requirements. In addition to the sky viewing, we offer the option of a BBQ cooktop, making the experience even more enjoyable for your group. Our Exclusive Night Tours offer a personalized and immersive experience, allowing you to soak up the magic of the night sky in a relaxed and friendly environment.

But that’s not all. As part of your Exclusive Night Tour experience, you will also see our historical telescopes and our newly redeveloped museum. Here, you can marvel at historical instruments, explore our meteorite exhibit, view stunning astrophotography and artwork, and browse the historic Atlas Coelestis by Britain’s first Astronomer Royal, John Flamsteed, published in 1729.

What If It’s Cloudy

At the Perth Observatory, we understand that the weather can be unpredictable, and cloudy conditions may affect the visibility of the night sky during our Exclusive Night Tours. Although our tours are non-moveable due to high demand and being run by volunteers, we offer an alternative experience for our guests in the event of poor visibility. In this scenario, we provide a fascinating astronomical presentation in the Lecture Theatre and a guided tour of the museum and the historical telescopes. Should the sky be clear enough to resume viewing through the telescopes, our normal night sky programme will continue.

We want you to have the best possible experience with us, and if you see less than four celestial objects during the night, we will refund 25% of the tour price. However, please note that if you choose to cancel your Exclusive Night Tour, the 10% deposit will be forfeited.

In the unlikely event that the Observatory must cancel the event due to factors such as loss of power, bushfires near the Observatory, or a Severe Weather Warning for the Perth Metropolitan region issued by the Bureau of Meteorology, we will offer a full refund.

Although we can’t guarantee clear skies, we strive to provide a memorable and enjoyable experience for all our guests, regardless of the weather conditions. We appreciate your understanding and flexibility and look forward to sharing our love of the night sky with you at the Perth Observatory.
