About this event
The "main event" that put Goldendale Observatory on the map: For one to three hours, visitors have their astronomy questions answered by expert staff while touring the stars outdoors and viewing space objects through the eyepiece of one of the world's largest public telescopes.
Bring some curiosity... and a jacket!
Program begins at 7pm October through March and 9pm April through September. The telescopes will be used for different objects throughout the show, depending on what time objects rise and set. Visitors must arrive on time.
