Saturday Open House

Saturday Open House

Make the Observatory part of your weekend! Tour the historic building, view our exhibits, participate in astronomy activities, and view the sun with our solar telescope. Beginning at 8 pm, explore the night sky with the 1857 Fitz telescope.

Telescope observing is weather dependent, but even if it's cloudy we strive to have fun things to do!

Families welcome, admission is always free. Registration not required.
