Wonderful experience. An adventure to get there, but once there we were fully engaged. The AO associates are friendly, courteous, well informed. We had an extended conversation with one who helped us better understand the various well presented displays. In addition to the displays, some interactive, and fun they have an informative, well produced film presentation in their auditorium. We viewed the English edition. Easy to absorb. Learned a lot. Excellent! Another highlight is the radio telescope itself. From a platform, one can view the AO RT in complete safety. It's size and the surrounding topography will take your breath away. On the platform we were graced with an excellent presentation. Most impressive, given the presentation is presented in English their second language! They have a gift shop with really cool items to choose from. Well worth your time. Have fun!
