Our knowledgeable guides will take you on a journey through time, from the Observatory’s beginnings at Mt Eliza in 1896 to our move to Bickley in 1966 and beyond. You will get to tour the Meridian, Astrograph & Calver Telescopes, learn about timekeeping, and explore the museum to discover fascinating stories about the Observatory’s past and present.

If you’re in a group of 20 or more, please let us know before Sunday so we can add extra volunteers to ensure everyone has a great experience.

Come and join us for a day of exploration and fun at Perth Observatory, and maybe even spot some kangaroos while you’re here!
