About

Climb to Sydney's highest point and uncover secrets of the stars and the city.

Perched atop Observatory Hill, Sydney Observatory offers families a unique blend of celestial wonders and rich history. From its origins as a windmill and fort to its pivotal role in timekeeping and astronomy, this heritage-listed site invites you to explore the universe and the past simultaneously.

Embark on intimate guided tours through the Signal Master’s Cottage and Observatory wing, discovering artifacts from the Powerhouse Collection. Ascend narrow staircases to peer through Australia’s oldest working telescope and a modern 16-inch telescope inside the iconic domes. Engage with interactive exhibits and learn about the site's significance to the Gadigal people, with insights from First Nations astronomers like Karlie Noon.

Whether you're tracing constellations, delving into colonial history, or enjoying panoramic views of Sydney Harbour, Sydney Observatory offers an enlightening adventure for curious minds of all ages.
