About this event

Whether you're an astronomer, engineer or history buff, you'll find the Observatory has something for all. We'll discover Cincinnati's astronomical past and how the citizens of Cincinnati founded the nation's first public observatory. Visitors will get a guided tour of our two historic buildings and telescopes, plus solar viewing through America's oldest, large telescope (weather permitting).

Tours last roughly 30-45 minutes. Time can be spent afterwards exploring our museum and checking out our gift shop.

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
