Prepare for an unforgettable journey through the cosmos. Beneath our state-of-the-art dome theatre, stars ignite, galaxies drift past, and the mysteries of the universe unfold before your eyes.
Whether it’s your first glimpse of Saturn’s rings or the joy of recognising familiar constellations, the Planetarium invites visitors of all ages to marvel at the wonders of space.
The Planetarium offers a range of educational experiences designed to suit groups of all ages and interests. From gentle introductions to the night sky to deeper dives into dark matter, robot explorers, and cultural and historical understandings of the night sky. Each experience invites students to explore the wonders of the universe in new and engaging ways.
In 2023, the entrance to the Bendigo Planetarium saw the installation of a mural by local First Nation’s artist Troy Firebrace, drawing inspiration from First Nation’s astronomy. We would like to acknowledge that the Discovery Centre is on the traditional land of the Dja Dja Wurrung clan of the Kulin Nation, and recognise that they are among the first scientists, astronomers and engineers in human history. We pay respect to them, their culture and knowledge, and to the Elders, past, present & emerging. Through our work here, we promote scientific understanding in the hope that we can help tend to this land to keep it healthy for future generations.
