Kidsfest under the Stars

It's fun, amazingly educational and an evening that promises to be, well and truly, out of this world!

So, get ready for blast off as we have some great things to keep you entertained and informed this year.

Tickets for our Kidsfest nights always sell out fast - book early to avoid disappointment - Bring the kids or borrow one or two (get permission first!) and enjoy a night under the stars.

As this is a kid friendly event no lone adults sorry! You must be being supervised by your kids! 

The Canterbury Astronomical Society observatory has 4 fixed telescopes (11",14", 120mm and a 16") and an assortment of portable telescopes, which will be open during our public open night programme.

Opening will be dependent on the weather, so please check our website www.cas.org.nz before heading out to the observatory. We will post a status update before 6:00pm confirming whether we are open or not on our website.
