Quiet Hour at Stardome: Sat 22 June, 9.45am

Stardome Observatory & Planetarium from Stardome Observatory & Planetarium

Quiet Hour returns at Stardome. This session offers a low-sensory environment tailored to accommodate individuals with autism or sensory and neurodiversity needs.

We modify both our planetarium and broader gallery spaces to provide a gentler sensory experience, including:

- A guided planetarium session exploring the night sky, led by a presenter
- Reduced volume levels
- Soft ambient lighting, with planetarium doors remaining open throughout the show
- A breakout space

Spaces are also strictly limited to 20 visitors per session.
Adults $10, Children/Students/Seniors $8. Carers go free when attending with a visitor with a disability. All ages welcome.

If you have any additional accessibility requirements or questions, please contact Stardome directly.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
