Experience astronomy exhibits and presentations inside the observatory, including meteorites and demonstrations. There will be special fun and educational activities for kids and those who want to discover more about astronomy.

After dark, view the moon, planets, star clusters, and beautiful double stars through the 20-inch refractor and dozens of telescopes of different sizes and types operated by DAS members.

Outdoor events and activities are FREE! Pricing to enter the observatory and view through the famous 20″ 121 year old Alvin Clark telescope is $2 / person or $5 / family.
