Visit to UWS Penrith Observatory. Cubs will be given a special Cub specific Program, including a 3D Astronomy movie, a tour of the dome area and stargazing or hands-on science activities. Program will run regardless of weather, there is still lots to see and do even if it is cloudy. Cubs attending will be eligible for Level 1 Space Badge.
The cost of this activity is a minimum of $300, therefore Mums & Dads & siblings are most welcome to also attend, cost will also be $10 each. A much better choice than sitting waiting in a cold car. Free tea & coffee is provided for Mums & Dads.
Parking is FREE but you MUST display the attached parking permit on the dashboard and only park in P1 carpark (in yellow bays) only. You will not be able to park in any other parking area free of charge.
