35 Degrees South Planetarium

35 Degrees South is Whangarei's very own planetarium. Officially opened in September 2012, it is run by the members of Northland Astronomical Society. Our aim is to promote an interest in science and astronomy to our fellow northlanders and beyond.

We're open on the second and fourth Saturday night of every month.

Winter sessions start at 6.30 pm.

Location:

Gate 1 Heritage Park
500 SH 14, Maunu Road
Whangarei

Access is through the KiwiNorth carpark, up the driveway to the left of the Native Bird Recovery Centre.

Admission:

$10 per adult
$5 for children

The planetarium offers opportunities to the public, schools and organisations to view the night sky independent of the weather or time of day.

We also offer group bookings outside our regular times, to arrange these contact the secretary at 09 435 2173.
