We took the evening tour and it exceeded expectations! Plan to arrive about 4:30 to watch the videos. A Turkey croissant, chips, cookie or granola bar and water are included. Vegetarian is an option. Sandwich was tasty!
The docents are AMAZING, so personable, knowledgable, yet make everything understandable. A schedule was posted so we knew what ti expect but the docents gave it their all and were not "time bound". We were scheduled to leave at 9:15, but it was 9:45 when we went back down the mountain.
Book online to save a few $.
This is not a tour if walking or taking stairs is an issue. We took a short walk up a sort of steep hill to watch the sunset. There are stairs up into the telescope house.
We learned how to use a star chart, and binoculars. They did a great job of dividing us into small groups and rotating a activities.
Well organized!! Great evening.
