Looking for a romantic night out and under the stars? Come see what the Observatory is like after hours. You'll get to use telescopes to view astronomical objects that are not visible until late at night.
And this will be the first viewing nights for Saturn for the season (weather permitting).
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.
Tickets: $30 per person
Space is limited. Adults Only. Singles welcome too.
We're sorry but these events are all SOLD OUT. We will post more here soon.
