I really enjoyed Starry Nights, a free event put on every clear Friday night. You get to look through people's telescopes and see planets and faraway galaxies. The volunteers that run the observatory are excellent as well. Stop by if it's open, you will enjoy it.

Get on the Starry Nights mailing list and then check out the planets and stars with amateur astronomers on multiple telescopes. Keep in mind that people volunteer to bring their telescopes (and knowledge ) to share with the public, so be respectful!

Beautiful Cherry blossoms right beside it

I absolutely love the observatory. The volunteers are wonderful, friendly and passionate about space. Also the telescope is incredibly cool.

An observatory run entirely by students and volunteers with lots of time dedicated to public events.

Volunteers are happy to share their expert knowledge on Astronomical facts (planets, moons, satellites and stars), wonderful experience and fantastic job by the volunteers. Thanks guys.. to each of you there, you guys are awesome !!!!

Every month there is a public (free) event in the evening called "Starry Nights". Anyone can visit the observatory and take a look through the telescope. The Royal Astronomy Society of Canada (RASC) members bring their own personal telescopes so people can see other objects as well. An enjoyable event.

Great atmosphere and lots of friendly and knowledgeable people to ask questions.

Very informative and nice place to hangout with your family and witness the mighty sky very good initiative by SFU and very engaging

Loved it. Great place and people. Some of the volunteers' telescopic views were much better than the observatory telescope view of the same object

The viewing of Saturn was a memory etched in the stars, a humbling experience that reminded us of our tiny existence in the grand scheme of the universe.

Awesome experience

Enjoying seeing the planets...
