SUMMIT One Vanderbilt

Tourist attraction

👍👍 I have been to a few observatories before in Newyork and Chicago. I certainly think this one is a most amazing experience I had. The staff was disciplined and friendly.

Naylor Observatory

Observatory

👍👍 I love the public observation nights. The volunteers are very knowledgeable. Remember to bring money for a donation for their organization. It's not required but helps them keep it open to the public. I wish they'd ask visitors to keep their cell phone use to emergencies only.

Westport Observatory

👍👍 My girlfriend and I visited on the 10th of June, which is their weekly free and open-to-the-public night. It is a little tricky to find the observatory, especially at night, but if you just continue all the way down the road you will find the observatory just fine. We were initially a little intimi...

University of Maryland Astronomy Observatory

Observatory

👍 An old but nice observatory, with open houses on the 5th and 20th of each month. The open house consists of a 30 minute lecture followed by a tour of the facility and its telescopes, and, weather permitting, viewing. Good for older kids.
