Siding Spring Observatory

Visit the white domes of one of the world's major optical observatories used by professional astronomers to study our southern skies. Siding Spring Observatory is Australia's largest optical astronomy research facility. Take a lift up to the visitor’s gallery inside the Anglo-Australian Telescope building which allows visitors to view some of the workings of the giant 3.9-metre telescope,

You can gain fascinating insight to the discoveries of outer space and learn about the wonders of the universe in the fun and interactive Exploratory Centre. A science gift shop and coffee lounge are also part of the complex.

The scenic lookout, situated next to the Anglo-Australian Telescope building, offers spectacular views over the Warrumbungle National Park.
