Led by observatory employees who know this monument inside and out, you’ll get a true behind-the-scenes on this guided tour part of our Insider Collection.
Our small-group tour, crafted by observatory insiders, takes you on a curated journey through space and time, blending science, history, architecture, and movie trivia. You'll get the perspective of a local pro who knows the observatory's secrets firsthand.
And don't miss the chance to add a show in the world-famous planetarium theater with our special ticket option. It's a 40-minute immersive experience with live narration that's truly out of this world! However, this interstellar option is only for ages 5 and up.
