Stargazing with Vic's Telescopes @ Syringa Park (at Avianto Estate)

An Unforgettable Night Under the Stars

Treat your loved ones to an evening where the ordinary fades away and the universe takes center stage. At the tranquil Syringa Park (Avianto Estate), you’ll arrive to a peaceful setting perfect for stargazing—just bring your curiosity, and the night sky will do the rest.

Make it a full experience: enjoy dinner or drinks at a nearby eatery before the show or order a takeaway and savour a picnic under the stars. Then, as darkness falls, prepare for an adventure across the cosmos.

You’ll look through powerful telescopes and:

• See the Moon’s craters and valleys in breathtaking detail (and snap a photo of it with your phone!)
• Witness Saturn in the early evening sky for the first time this season—rings and all!
• Explore constellations and spot double stars
• Discover glittering star clusters and hidden asterisms
• Enjoy a laser-guided tour of the night sky

Your host, Vicus Cruywagen - passionate telescope maker and avid skywatcher - will guide you with fascinating insights, turning the night into a shared journey of discovery.

This isn’t just stargazing—it’s a magical night to slow down, look up, and create memories with those you love.
