This is a quite new addition to Sutherland attractions and in the centre of the town. A small and very cozy sett up and should be a pleasant experience if you are not prone to motion sickness. Lying on your back and the roof moving all the time both of us were sick within minutes. Fortunately for us there was a power failure and they refunded us our entrance fee. Very friendly owner and I would recommend a visit.

We were invited to the opening of the Sutherland Planetarium. Great addition in Sutherland with a number of shows during the day and then star gazing in the evenings. A must visit when in Sutherland

We enjoyed our experience. It was a most unexpected find. Very friendly management. Would go back with kids again. Also a lovely respite from the heat in the cool, dark, air-conditioned planetarium. We attended the midday show.

Not much to say about this experience since there was none, we had a confirmed booking with Alta for Saturday evening, 5 October. However on arrival it as locked and closed, we even walked around the building to see if we are maybe mistaken. Being in the hospitality industry myself, service is everything, if you need to cancel a booking at least inform your guests.

I apologize for this experience. Sutherland Planetarium adapted a new policy to contact stargazers in advance to inform them if there are any weather related changes to the schedule. If we can't get ahold of the group, there will be a representative at the Planetarium at the time agreed upon to avoid this indecent from happening again.
