Got Keen? Open it in the appAbout
Explore the iconic Sydney Observatory on our family-friendly tour designed for small groups that include young children aged six and older.
Learn about flag signalling, weather measurement and the rich scientific history of the highest natural point in Sydney Cove before venturing inside the Observatory building.
After climbing the building’s narrow staircases, you'll step inside the Observatory's domes to see historic and modern telescopes in action. From this location you can get spectacular views across Sydney Harbour and see terrestrial objects through a telescope.
