What does "Indoor Tour" mean?

If the weather doesn't play ball, we still want to share the wonders of the universe with you! Our Immersive Indoor Tour includes:

• A high-definition virtual journey through the Akaroa night sky.
• Expert Q&A and storytelling with our passionate astronomers.

Note: Indoor tours are offered at a reduced rate. If you prefer not to attend the indoor session, you can choose to reschedule, convert to a gift card, or request a refund.
