I brought my 8 y/o granddaughter to McDonald Observatory as a 'spur of the minute' entertainment decision. I wasnt sure if the lectures were going to be over her head, or if the number of adults that were there (my age) would bother her. Lol, No worries folks! The tour is designed so friendly that there is a ton of information that is geared for all audiences. Our tour guide, Christina, was AMAZING, and made sure that everyone felt included. My granddaughter and I, both, learned so much!

Pro tip: Make sure you eat before the tour or bring a little snack. We had lunch at 11 a.m. and the tour started at 2 p.m. By the time we were finished with tour, souvenir shopping, and getting back down the mountain, I was feeling pretty poorly.
