Very informative, educational and entertaining shows run at the Planetarium, especially for young and aspiring little astronauts. Particularly exciting since it will soon be 50 years since man first walked on the moon, so there will be lots of celebrations coming up soon.
There are lizards running around, fish in the pond that come up to feed, lilies in the pond, and an overall very nice place with beautiful old moretan bay figs, even has a cute Japanese garden.
The Planetarium was officially opened on 24 May 1978. It is named with respect for Sir Thomas Makdougall Brisbane, who was appointed governor of New South Wales from 1821 to 1825 The City of Brisbane and its river were also named after him.
