Star-Gazing Party

Spend an unforgettable evening under the stars at the Observatory, where science and wonder collide. Begin indoors with engaging presentations on fascinating astronomical topics, led by passionate experts who bring the cosmos to life.

As darkness falls, step outside and let the night sky take center stage. The Observatory’s three main telescopes will be open for viewing, offering a rare glimpse into distant galaxies, star clusters, and planets. Knowledgeable docents will also be on hand, setting up additional telescopes outside the building and guiding your journey through the heavens with warmth and expertise.

Whether you’re a lifelong astronomy lover or simply curious about the universe, this stargazing experience promises something magical for all ages.
