Great tour round the observatory, very interesting information. To see the actual scope in action was amazing. More

Great place to go for the night, they also have tours during the day time. As well a special events that happen during the month. I would recommend going at night so you can see the stars and look at the big telescope. Also the staff is super friendly and very knowledgeable. (Students bring your ID's they have discounts) More

For $11 a person, you get to gaze at the stars/planets through their massive telescopes. This is really neat! We got to see the Saturn's rings and great detail of the craters on the full moon. Awesome! More

We planned on seeing the museum and grounds and then seeing some interesting planetary views through the famous telescope on grounds. The 30 minute film in the visitor center was rambling and boring ( I am an astronomy buff) with really obnoxious music and weak copywriting. The admissions clerk didn't seem able to give a straight answer to any question... More
