Review of The Arecibo Observatory

If there is no close parking it's a 7 minute walk up to a 500 step stair case up to the visitors center / museum. If you can't make the walk they have a van drive you up the road from parking.
The museum does a presentation every 30 mins in English or Spanish. Then they take you out to the observation deck where you can see the dish.
