One of the best places to stop if you're in the Big Bend area. Saw the presentation and live viewing of the sun along with a tour of the telescopes. The star party is great with a laser used to point out the constellations, look at planets through their telescopes and a scientist to answer questions. Fantastic place to view the stars at night. The gift store is a must to stop at and there's a small restaurant inside the main building too.
