📍Space Place at Carter Observatory Location 40 Salamanca Road, Kelburn, Wellington 6012 As someone who loves stars, I went there when I traveled to Wellington..! There was a museum related to stars inside, and the admission fee included an astronomy show? I lay down and looked at the ceiling and watched something like a movie, and I also heard an explanation about the constellations of the southern hemisphere. I was looking forward to actually observing stars on Tuesday, but when I went, it was cloudy ㅠㅠ so it was canceled😭 Here is the information! 💰Price - Adult: $14 - Gold Card Holders / New Zealand Students (New Zealand ID required): $12 - Child (4-16 years): $9 - Infant (0-3 years): Free - Family (2 adults and up to 3 children): $45 - Wellington Museum Members: Free Opening Hours: - Mon, Wed, Thu, Sun: 10am - 5pm - Tue, Fri, Sat: 10am - 11pm Last admission is 30 minutes before closing time.
