Great friendly people and enthusiasts allowing the public to learn and see the night sky. Small but considering that it is free, not much to complain about. I bring my own small telescope too and people all share in the knowledge. They have a computer processing the image for the 2 bigger telescopes.

I love star gazing. The observatory was great! The docents are very knowledgeable! On Fiday I was able to see Jupiter with its moons, Saturn and its rings, The Globular Cluster- Hercules, The Whirlpool Galaxy,The Summer Triangle,and so much more! It was awesome! Had a great night!

This is a wonderful place to bring your family or significant other. The experience is free, there are knowledgeable astronomers around to answer any questions you may have. The telescope inside is massive, and really amazing. I love going here highly recommend good clean fun

The facility is quite small, was expecting it to be bigger. But the telescopes are there for sure. It was kind of hard to find the place because you had to drive in all the way tot he gate and park and then walk uphill. But its worth it.

Great community resource with knowledgable, caring volunteers. I enjoyed the visit and hope everyone in the area visits this wonderful place. Give a donation to help keep them running the place.

Bring the family up on summer evenings and be amazed at how clear the views of the moons and stars can be. The star tours are also really neat
