Stop by after sunset to view the heavens through our 16-inch cassegrain telescope. An expert astronomer/telescope operator is always on hand to direct your attention to planets, galaxies, star clusters, or to answer any questions you may have. Come visit the Flandrau Observatory for an educational evening experience that the whole family can enjoy.
