Not only is astronomy fascinating in its own right, but we also demonstrate its connections to basic sciences and technology. Visits to the Hartebeesthoek Observatory are a hands-on, fun, learning experience. We take visits from schools, universities and colleges of education, and other interested groups. Public visits are held once a month on a Saturday evening. All visits must be booked in advance.
Visits made during normal working hours are free.
There is a small entrance fee for visits outside these hours.
