Take a right onto Metzerott Road. Once on Metzerott, you will go through a stop light and the observatory is about a quarter of a mile on the left side of the road after the stop light. We are almost directly across the street from System Administration. Click here to see a map. We do have a moderate parking lot and an overflow lot at the observatory.
Parking is free.
On clear nights while the university is in session, both our lots do have a tendency to fill up. Please follow the directions of our volunteers in the parking lot and they will assist you. While the lecture hall does have heat and air conditioning, the bays that house the telescopes do not. You will essentially be outside while you're at the telescopes so you should dress warmly during the colder months. No reservations are required for individuals or families.
