Stories and Stars – Family Stargazing Night

A magical night for the whole family, under the stars

Join us on Thursdays this winter in the world’s newest International Dark Sky Sanctuary. Just 45 minutes from Queenstown.

Begin with a family friendly dinner, before heading outdoors to explore the night sky. Snuggle into your own bean bag with a blanket and binoculars, take turns at the telescope with our guide, then gather by the fire in the cosy Scheelite Shelter with a hot chocolate and toast marshmallows under the stars.
