Teacher Tour

This tour is a mix of history, science, current opportunities for students and field trip logistics. It is intended for teachers and their families. We will tour the building and do some handson activities. If the weather is clear, we will use the historic 13" telescope to look at astronomical objects.

The tour runs about 90 minutes, though it can be longer if there is good observing.

The building is only partially handicapped accessible. Please email allegheny-observatory@pitt.edu for more information.
