A place worth knowing
Make this the destination, then let the city spread out below you. Leave room for a change in the light rather than squeezing the observatory between distant appointments.
The hours below are for the building. The surrounding grounds have a different schedule, and nearby parking is paid. Planetarium tickets are an optional extra, not part of free admission. Check the observatory’s travel and visitor updates before heading into the park. The cover shows its entrance in July 2026.
