      Lots of interesting and interactive displays. Good place to visit if you have a interest in space. Not a far wall from the cable car.

      An exciting and informative experience. Really is a world class observatory. I took my grandson here and he absolutely loved it. Definitely worth the visit.

      Stunning place to visit and learn!

      I've been here a few times with family and friends. Lots to see and do and they often have talks and videos in the auditorium which can be fascinating.

      Add to this the brilliant views of the stars and all around you through the amazing telescopes they have and you can learn and see so much

      Metered parking nearby and a fantastic little gift shop and very knowledgable staff makes this a must visit!

      We come here twonor three times a year because our boys are really into space and the interactive displays are really great for them. We also like to see the little shows in the theater and the kids always like them so much that they don't know they are learning.
