Earth Sanctuary World Nature Centre

Cannot say enough about how much I liked our visit this evening. From the first greeting to our serenading guitar player and the canapes to the chance to see the stars from a whole different perspective, down huge telescopes and across the sky on stories. Beautiful.

This place was amazing. Great people. Friendly and knowledgeable. The night sky experience was incredible. Food was good and experienced a new quondong beer. Loved it.

Great experience! We learned a lot about the universe and what to see and look for in the sky at night. The staff is super friendly!

A thoroughly enjoyable experience. The board were welcoming an Cheri knowledge. The dinner was very good and dessert was very tasty. We will return when the moon is less predominant. The view is Saturn and Venus was spectacular.

We went on a dark sky night, which was great for viewing stars, very nice people without a doubt. How ever, the tour was a little boring, without binoculars (lucky i took my own). Alot of pointing to stars, which not many people would remember all their name and a very quick 15 seconds to looks through the telescope, that was good. No time for Q&A either. I did find the 10 million suns though my binoculars, which was amazing. Tour felt quite rushed. Great to have a free shuttle bus, big bonus.

Such a great team, informative talks, and spectacular light display ;). Get there for one of the few night BBQ if you can!

Just brilliant. Dan, Joe and the family really looked after us with a great BBQ dinner and a lesson all about the stars. Lovely people, great food what else could you ask for.

Loved this tour.so fascinating.organized well.from pick up to drop off and the glass of lovely shiraz in between. I was solo.but I could see that the kids from the couple of families were equally ' starstruck! Our astronomer explained and informed so that even the kids could understand.
. To see Jupiter and Saturn with the naked eye through a telescope was wonderful. I think well worth doing whilst in Alice

The Earth Sanctuary is a fantastic venue for corporate events and weddings, with an authentic Outback feel that is unique to Alice Springs. The Falzon family have built an incredible venue and go above and beyond to ensure their clients are well taken care of, whether it's a big or small event, their flexibility and friendliness is outstanding. A bus service to and from the venue and full catering is all available onsite so everything can be done in house. There are a range of informative and entertaining experiences available including star gazing talks, cooking classes and other great hands on activities that are perfect for corporate team building events. I've photographed many corporate events and weddings at The Earth Sanctuary and can highly recommend them as an outstanding Alice Springs venue!

We visited for the stargazing. The talk was OK, and I would have liked longer to look through the telescopes. I'd recommend driving rather then getting the shuttle as you'd have more time to look.

Good overview provided by presenter about the various constellations including some Zodiac ones. Also discussed the nearby galaxies, difference between the northern and southern hemisphere stars. There was also a resting glimpse of the Moon through a very good telescope. That was the highlight of the experience but it would have been good to have had more time with the telescope.

Simply amazing great food wonderful hosts and the guide round the night stars was brilliant well worth a visit highly recommended

Outstanding show, dinner, and hosts! Highly recommend if you're ever in the area. The owners/family are professional, fun, and highly knowledgeable. Great way to spend an evening!

Amazing food, amazing views, amazing entertainment - local girls aboriginal drumming group, and this food creation- i think it was a huge trifle - made on the back of a truck in front of our eyes! What an experience.

Thanks Tom and Dan for a great night.
Wonderful meal with moon and star gazing.
Great info about the stars.

One of the most fun tours I've had the pleasure of experiencing! Dan and Tom were our guides and told us so many stories that kept us captivated throughout the tour. I consider this experience an absolute must do!

Amazing country atmosphere, great food and activities. While I was there I got to make damper and take a star tour among other things. There's also a really awesome Aboriginal art gallery in the back.
