Come see what the Observatory is like after hours - long after the "early crowd" has gone home. You'll get to use the oldest big telescope in the U.S. to view astronomical objects that are not visible until late at night (weather permitting). Get a sneak preview of the next season's planets and stars a month or two ahead of everyone else. Each night is different and special!

These programs are recommended for adults only. If the weather does not permit viewing, we'll have fun with some of the crazy science experiments and "adult" constellation mythology stories that we can't share with family audiences.

Admission is $10 per person

Sun-day Sunday Sundae includes hourly programs about the Sun, tours of the historic buildings, and safe solar viewing of sunspots and solar flares out of our 1845 telescope (weather permitting).

Great for all ages!

As a special treat we will also have free ice cream sundaes for those in attendance.

Cost: $7/person
No reservations required.
Call 513-321-5186 for more information

Discussions cover contemporary Astronomical topics as well as those historic. There is no prerequisite knowledge of Math or Astronomy is necessary. The group meets for about an hour or so and is free to any member of the Observatory.

For ages 8 to 80.

The topics and the night sky change week to week/month to month so you can visit often to hear and see something new. Reservations required.

Astronomy Thursdays admission is by suggested donation of $5 per person. Astronomy Fridays are $7 for adults, $5 for children under 18.

Not all Full Moons are created equal. Some are closer to the Earth than others and every 14 months we get a super large Full Moon. These SuperMoons makes the Moon appear 14% bigger in the sky.

Join us at the Observatory to watch the SuperMoon rise above the eastern horizon at 8:20pm and see if you can tell the difference.

SuperMoon includes tours of the two Observatory buildings and viewing through the historic telescopes of Venus and Saturn (weather permitting).

Cost: $5 per person

Whether you're an astronomer, engineer or history buff, you'll find the Observatory has something for all.
We'll explore Cincinnati's past and how the citizens of Cincinnati founded the nation's first public astronomical observatory. Learn why John Quincy Adams was so interested in what was only happening here in Cincinnati? What discoveries were made?
Why the move to the current Mt. Lookout location? You'll be surprised to hear which famous Cincinnati architect designed the Observatory. Discover how 19th century astronomers determined time for Cincinnati and how the first U.S. weather predictions were achieved.

The tours can be customized to match your interests and time.
These hands-on tours are great for younger visitors too and are aligned with Ohio’s 3rd & 4th grade social studies standards.

$5 per person suggested donation.

"Cross-Curricular Science Topics"

Course Description: The focus of this workshop is to assist teachers in using astronomy as a vehicle for teaching math, history/social studies, language arts, and fine arts. The sessions will be a mixture of lecture, hands-on activities, small-group discussion and collaboration, and astronomy field experience. Topics include applications of astronomy to 5th-12th grade math; local, national, and world history; geography; ancient mythology and modern literature; and 2- and 3-dimensional functional art. Emphasis will be placed on both content information and exploration of curriculum integration strategies. Ideally, this workshop will empower teachers to integrate astronomy units into multiple subjects as a team-taught, cross-curricular theme. Participants will also be connected to local astronomy resources and equipment, as well as practice with the best sky simulation software.

Course goals: At the completion of this course, students will be able to:
• Trace the history of astronomy and analyze how astronomy has influenced and been influenced by other historical developments
• Calculate movements, sizes, distances, and viewing angles of planets, moons, stars, and other astronomical objects as seen from Earth
• Understand, interpret, and create literary and visual expressions of the heavens
• Construct and use basic astronomical instruments
• Present an astronomy-based lesson on a non-science subject to the class<

We invite families to bring their tent and sleeping bags to camp out on the Observatory's lawn for a special Night Under the Stars.

Check in and set up your tent any time after 8:00 PM. At 9:00 PM, join us for a tour, viewing the twilight planet Venus, and constellation stories around a campfire while the stars come out overhead. Then, the real stargazing begins, with views of Saturn, star clusters, and more through the Observatory’s historic telescope (weather permitting).

Retire to your tent as early or late as you want. For those who are too excited to sleep, we’ll view the Moon and more after midnight. The Observatory will remain open overnight, for all-night access to the bathrooms – and the telescope! Light breakfast (cereal, fruit, drinks, etc.) will be served 8:00-9:00 AM.

Cost: $15 / person (non-members); $10 / person (members.)
