Astronomy on The Rooftop

Join us under the stars for an unforgettable evening of cosmic exploration! Set against the stunning backdrop of the night sky, our rooftop transforms into an open-air observatory.

Telescopes will be available for stargazing, with expert guides pointing out constellations, planets, and deep-sky wonders. Whether you’re a seasoned skywatcher or a curious beginner, you’ll enjoy celestial stories, astronomy talks, and breathtaking views of the moon and stars.

Bring a blanket for the cooler nights and a sense of wonder. Imbibe on our draft wall—this is a night to connect with the universe from right here on Earth.
