There was an event for meteor shower the night I went. Even though there was intermittent cloud cover the passionate and knowledgeable people hosting the event made sure everyone had a memorable time. The telescope inside, and one outside gave us ample opportunity to see and learn so much. I stayed from 7 to 10 and even in freezing conditions the volunteers hosting the event were working hard , hats off.
Very impressive observatory with friendly staff. Will be back again soon. Looking forward to seeing more planets and galaxies in the near future.
The visit to Frosty Drew was great - the nature center is small but rich with information and displays. The local astronomy club that hosted the observatory and field telescopes were all friendly, informative, and helpful. Our family had a lot of fun - don't forget to bring bug spray!!!
A lifetime obsessed with all things moon and stars and this was my first time seeing the moon and its beautiful craters! What made the experience even better was how welcoming Jessica was. The gentleman Brian was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic as he explained to us the ways of the telescope and what we might be able to see! There is something magical about the stars and being able to enjoy the moment, especially with folks passionate about it! Thanks again! Can't wait to go back!
I have been there a couple of time and it is always a fun experience. Bring your kids and ask questions. I always try to bring some cash for donations but the evening is technically free. The summer time is more busy than the winter, and if you are coming in the summer bring some bug spray. My daughter was thrilled to look at the moon, planets and stars.
