What an enjoyable place! Easy to walk around and you will leave learning things that you will find very interesting about the telescopes and the Lowell family. I will definitely go back and take the tours again. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. This...More

I thought this might be similar to the Griffith Park Observatory in Los Angeles, CA which offers indoor shows, but it is not. While the Lowell Observatory appeared to be a nice activity, once we got there, we found that what we could do and...More

Enjoyed our visit. The observatory is famous for finding Pluto. Of course, I know Pluto is no longer a planet, but using the same criteria, neither is Earth a planet. Viewing with a telescope was spotty because of the clouds. The staff was enthusiastic and...More

Saturday night in Flagstaff, AZ. was spent at the Lowell Observatory at their evening program. A Lowell scientist actually discovered the dwarf planet Pluto. Fascinating, informative and just a short drive from the Old Town area. This is a must see for all.

I was never so disappointed in my life. I really wanted to see this and thought my 2 grandkids would like it also and they were excited. Walked into the entrance and was NOT greeted by a very enthusiastic man. We sat through 3 boring...More

We went during a time when there was planetary viewing setup so we got to see Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and the Moon through large and small telescopes. The constellation talk was informative. pick a night when cloud cover is not a factor.

My daughter really wanted to go there to view space through a telescope. So I paid $58 for the viewing. However the weather didn't cooperate so all we did was walk around the area and never saw anything. My suggestion is to not pay the...More

5 of the 6 row us really struggled with an hour long talk in a hot room at 8pm...the info was great but long, but once outside and looking though multiple telescopes everyone felt better. We were lucky to be able to see both Jupiter...More

I thought we'd spend a few hours here one late morning on our trip, but we paid and walked through. Only one building open and that one had a lecture starting but with no empty seats we left -- looked around, saw nothing more available...More

Skip the tour. Information is very very basic and 10 minutes worth spread over 1/2 hour. Plus, if you do tour make sure its clear day. Otherwise you wont get to see the telescope which is the only interesting part of tour. Not worth price...More
