Limited parking, but we got it!
The small museum it's just perfect. Observatory hostess is awesome!
Don't expect to see planets details (littler discouraged knowing how expensive is this observatory). All planets looks like regular stars with a good home telescope. Just Jupiter, if you look carefully, would see minimal details.

Awesome experience. We went here for our 2nd date. Staff was friendly and helpful. We saw the moon, Jupiter and Saturn. It's cool to watch the scope and dome rotate to it's new position. Romantic enough to earn a first kiss. Pretty magical place.

Knowledgeable astronomer who answers all your questions. Call before your visit to make sure they open, since they depend on clear skies

The experience is amazing. It is a ~35 inch diameter telescope, and we were able to see jupiter amd its moons very clearly. The two people running the telescope were very knowledgeable, entertaining, and were great at explaining things in lay terms. It is obvious they are passionate about astronomy

Enjoyed the opportunity plus it's free. Wish the telescope was zoomed out some, could only see craters not actually full planet. I expected a different experience
