Stargazing with Vic's Telescopes @ Casalinga

An Evening of Stargazing & Wonder!

Treat your friends and family to a night where the stars come alive above you. At the stunning Casalinga venue in Muldersdrift, you’ll step onto expansive lawns that feel like an escape from the city - calm, open, and perfect for stargazing.

Make it a complete experience: enjoy a meal or drink at Casalinga’s renowned restaurant or grab a takeaway and share a relaxed picnic under the stars.

Then the magic begins...

As the night sky darkens, 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 through a telescope!)
• Discover glittering star clusters and hidden asterisms
• Explore constellations and spot double stars
• Enjoy a laser-guided tour of the night sky

Guiding your journey is Vicus Cruywagen - passionate telescope maker and avid skywatcher - who will bring the universe to life with fascinating insights.

This isn’t just stargazing - it’s a chance to slow down, look up, and share an unforgettable evening of wonder with those you love.

* Insect Protection: During summer, mosquito repellent is recommended.

* Food and Seating: No food/drinks from outside allowed. The restaurant will be open (take-aways also available). Bring a camping chair along - picnic blankets are also welcome.

* Ticket Policy: If weather conditions are unsuitable for stargazing, the event will be postponed and you may use your tickets for any upcoming general stargazing event within the next year - subject to availability.
