Lowell Observatory

Check the schedule and try to plan for the full 3 hour tour ! It blew my mind and flew by so quickly. Jill knows really knows her stuff and is a VOLUNTEER! Simply amazing!...

Very interesting and cool place to spend a few hours in the evening learning about the night sky. You get to look through some very large telescopes at the skies above. Great volunteers, too!

Great place to walk and learn about the stars. If you want to join their membership your entry fee will be taken off the membership price. You can return at night with day attendance.

Buy a family membership for 60.00. It's well worth it and works at tons of other places in US. You can visit this place several times and learn something new each time.

Incredible site for viewing stars near the city . I’d recommend the constellation tour starting at 8.30pm.

Great staff . Very knowledgeable about the facility and anything space. They have interactive kid shows available. Go during the early evening to enjoy the stuff that does not require darkness.

Amazing! Really informative talks and getting to see the Milky Way and Saturn was incredible

Cool place to look through telescopes in the evening. My favorite was looking at the moon in detail. The presentations/talks could have been better, though.

Make sure to come back after dark to look through the telescopes and learn a ton!

A chance for kids to experience spectacular stargazing. Observe planets through a giant telescope and then go outside where guides will point out constellations and stars visible to the naked eye.

Built in 1894, it is one of the oldest observatories in the US and has led to many important discoveries. In 1930, Clyde Tombaugh identified the solar body Pluto (originally thought to be a planet). Read more

Really cool. The lecture we heard was amazing! (We got discount tickets at our hotel )

incredibly knowledgeable and friendly staff . learned a lot and had fun during our brief visit!

The staff here are amazing and go out of their way to make sure you enjoy yourself.

Good family information and fun.

Very educational ! We really enjoyed the Pluto Tour .

Don't pop the bubble wrap on the table legs at the Perkins Telescope. It's there for a reason!

Worth the visit. Interesting exhibits , and it was cool to see the telescope used to identify Pluto.

If the Clark Telescope is open for viewing , check it out. Lowell used to look at Mars through this.

Go at night to see the stars!
