Good to know
This suits anyone curious about astronomy—no prior knowledge needed—and works well for families with children of any age, including infants in prams. The experience is pitched as inclusive across fitness levels and physical abilities. Be aware that it's outdoors in the evening, so bring warm layers as coastal temperatures can drop. The session runs only 90 minutes, so you're not committing to a full night out. Group size isn't specified, so confirm whether you're in a small gathering or larger group. Peak times during school holidays or new moon phases may draw more bookings. Transport to the Discovery Centre from Exmouth town isn't included; plan your own logistics.
