Observatory Public Viewing


Adult / Hobbies / Hobby & Leisure -
Adult Fall 2024

View the night sky through the Lawrence Sauter telescope located inside the Observatory Dome atop the Eisenhower Community Center. View stars, planets, and more with an experienced guide. The dome-enclosed telescope provides a spectacular view of the night sky.

Visitors with physical disabilities who cannot climb the steep staircase up to the observatory are still very welcome to visit the observatory program and take part in the classroom portion of the discussion.
