About this event

This special program offers those seeking to learn more about the Observatory’s history a more detailed, in-depth guided tour at Noon or 1:30pm. These include all that’s covered in a Daytime Tour - as well as more stories of how the Observatory came to be (and almost didn’t!).

These tours also cover the Observatory’s role in weather forecasting and timekeeping as well as a visit to our interactive Sundial, original 1843 cornerstone, and more!

Tours last about 45-60 minutes with plenty of time for questions and some behind-the-scenes fun!

Perfect for local history, astronomy and science buffs ages 12 and up.

The Cincinnati Observatory

Inspiring generations to look to the stars

The mission of the Cincinnati Observatory is to maintain the integrity and heritage of an historic 19th century observatory and to educate, engage, and inspire our community about astronomy and science.

Our vision is to be a primary resource in furthering astronomy and science education through programming:

For K-12 schools and the public on and off our campus

For universities and classes for teacher professional development

That promotes the rich history of the Observatory

That strengthens our connection to allied STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) organizations
