The red planet Mars has its closest approach to Earth at midnight on Friday night, July 27, 2018. To allow you to see the planet up close in our large powerful telescopes, we're doing 1 hour shows starting at 7pm then each hour after that up to midnight on a first come first served basis. During these 1 hour shows, 7 - 8pm, 8 - 9pm, 9 -10pm, 10 - 11pm, 11 - midnight, each telescope will be trained on Mars, Jupiter and Saturn, nothing else, as that night the Moon is 97% bright meaning its light will 'drown' out many stars and constellations. These 1 hour specials will cost $20 for an adult irrespective of age and $10 for kids over 5. Cash at door. Night shows not suitable for under 5's. Bookings ARE ESSENTIAL.
