Tips

  • Ideal for a more advanced date. It is quiet, sutble, dark (but not overly private). There are stunning views. You can walk outside too - great wind. There's a lot of potential. Go at night.
  • Not really a place to "do" things. There is a telescope that may cost $1.
  • There's a parking lot in the building.
  • Make sure you go to the observatory and not the lounge.
  • They ask to take a picture of you when you enter and try to sell it to you later for $10.

Hours Subject to change. Always verify.

Open daily from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. (last ticket sold at 10:45 p.m.)
