Gravity Discovery Centre & Observatory

Discover the ultimate day out. Amazing science, art, bushwalks and stargazing.

The Gravity Discovery Centre & Observatory is a highly respected science education and tourism facility in Western Australia, and the only science centre with a focus on Cosmology, Astronomy and Physics. This unique facility provides exciting science experiences for families, children, students and tourists.

Whether you are 5 or 50 there are so many cool hands-on science experiments and displays for you to get involved in. You can also test gravity by dropping water balloons from the 45m Leaning Tower! Walk along our 1km solar system, the distances between the planets are exactly to scale as if you were travelling in your own space ship through space.

The Cosmology Gallery is home to works of art from various cultural backgrounds with different artists showing their understanding of culture, religion, science and astronomy. Here you will see the Timeline of The Universe, a part of the Mundrabilla meteorite and the wonderful Penrose Tiled Floor.

In addition we are located in stunning bushland and are surrounded by beautiful plants, especially in the spring when the bush comes to life! We offer 1 and 2km bushwalks with a guided map.

Why not stay for an evening tour of our observatory? Let our astronomers guide you through the universe. Night time tours start with a 30 minute presentation, followed by a laser tour and stargazing through the telescopes in our world class observatory.

Our café serves drinks, snacks and ice-creams and our gift shop is stocked with souvenirs. Self guided and Guided tours are available.

We welcome group bookings.
