      We are from Colorado, USA and had never seen the Southern Cross until that moment. It was amazing going from sunset to twilight to the full Night Sky and having the Crux stars pop up and come into full clarity. This was truly magical
    • A brilliant evening with incredible hosts!

      What an excellent way to spend an evening! A fascinating and well-run event! Tom and Alka were extremely knowledgeable and friendly, they helped answer all our questions and really engaged with the group! Would highly recommend and would definitely return!

      Great experience! Well organised and informative. Admittedly, I was someone more interested in the hot chocolate, however the information was digestible and fascinating. Thank you for a great time!

      This was an absolutely incredible experience and I will 100% be back to do this again next time I'm in the area. I loved the passion that came through from the astrophysicist. It was great to be able to ask questions and look through the telescope. Also I was obsessed with the hot chocolate that was VEGAN which is always a plus for me. My only small complaint was that me and a few others were late due to confusion on where to meet but other than that it was amazing. Thank you guys so much !!!
