Cowan's Walkway and Observatory

Here is where Dark Skies will take you if you choose the Cowan's Observatory experience, which is an alternative to the Mount John tour.

You may also take a walk here during the day though it is reported that unless you visit during November and December when the Lupins and Lake create stunning views, there is not much to see.

On the Dark Skies tour, the visuals depend on the stars, the moon and the weather. Less moon means more stars.

"Nestled in a giant purpose-built crater to provide maximum wind protection and minimum light pollution, our expert astronomy guides will enhance your knowledge and understanding of our Southern Skies as you admire and ponder the possibilities through our powerful optical telescopes."
