the Pluto tour was extremely interesting, especially since the "demotion" to a dwarf planet...(Pluto was discovered at the Lowell Observatory) Sadly, Did not have time for the night time viewing (included with our Pluto tour) The location of the observatory is beautiful in the cool pines above the city. Our guide was very informed.

There was an interesting talk on space, but the display was a little hard to follow and was not explained by the speaker. The better telescopes are not available to the public, but the 25" one was set up for saturn and a smaller one was on jupiter, so we got to see small, but recognizable, images of those planets....

Never really appreciated what has gone on at this place over the years but going on a couple of the short tours here really made it come alive

Few attractions really inform. This one does. Go and learn. Also super for kids with brains. Highly recommended.

For a fascinating tour of an historic observatory, visit  the Clark Telescope Dome and find out how the items above help the telescope function to this day and stand as a tribute to human ingenuity. We had great fun participating in some of Lowell's programs. It's well worth a few hours for a visit.

We took the tour in the morning--very interesting and well done. We returned in the evening to see the movie and waited in line to view Saturn (with rings) and Jupiter in the big telescope. Our grandchildren loved it and so did we!

Although I've lived in Arizona for 15 years and love to learn about space, I hadn't made it to the Lowell Observatory yet. I guess I figured there wouldn't be much to look at since it's older and close to a city. I was wrong! We enjoyed our tour so much I became a member! The historic telescopes and domes... More

Did 2 of the tours and found them both very interesting. We are both scientists so the site and telescopes were of particular interest.

Enthusiastic staff and volunteers make this a great evening or visit. Sadly it was too cloudy to view Jupiter but an interesting piece of history and great views of Flagstaff.
