Join us at the Space Centre on February 5th or 6th and learn what it takes to prepare for a mission to Mars. How do they send rovers to Mars, and how we will eventually get a human on the red planet?

During your 60 minute visit you will have 30 minutes to explore the exhibits in our Cosmic Courtyard Gallery and learn about a fun craft to make at home. The other 30 minutes will be spent in our Observatory with a tour of our ½ metre Cassegrain telescope and a 15 minute presentation about different types of light.

This program is recommended for families with children ages 8+. Children must be accompanied by adults. One ticket must be purchased for each member of your group. Groups can have a maximum of 4 people. We recommend that you dress warmly as the Observatory can be cold.
