While I was driving between Las Cruces and Fort Stockton, I decided to stop in and visit the McDonald Observatory, and, even though it was a considerable detour, I am glad I did. The visitor center is clean, quiet, and best of all, it's completely free. There's a small cafe, theatre, gift shop, and exhibit area, all which are staffed by very nice and knowledgeable people. The exhibits are fun, informative, and interactive so no matter what age a person is, they will get something from visiting this place. If you are a lover of science, astronomy, or just thirsting for knowledge, don't skip out on stopping in. It's very much worth the time.
