Weekly Public Program

Astronomy Evening at the Cincinnati Observatory is the perfect program to get acquainted with all of the offerings of your local observatory. Located in picturesque Mount Lookout on the East Side of Cincinnati, the Cincinnati Observatory is the oldest one of its kind in the country that still uses its original telescope from 1845, and now you too will get to participate.

 

This 90 minute long, family-friendly program features an Astronomy themed presentation on the different things you can experience in the night sky. Tours of our historic buildings and viewing through our telescope takes place during the second part of the evening (weather permitting).

 

Tickets: $15/adult, $7/child, FREE For Members.  November is SOLD OUT.

At the Cincinnati Observatory

Looking for a romantic night out and under the stars? Come see what the Observatory is like after hours.

Get a sneak preview of the next season's planets and stars a month or two ahead of everyone else.

 

The program runs rain or shine. If the weather does not permit viewing, we'll have fun showing you around the universe and behind the scenes at the Observatory.
