We had a great time there and learned a lot. Great information on Pluto and how it was discovered.

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