We went during one of their Public Viewing Events and came for the telescope clinic before the event started and loved every bit of it. They were very knowledgeable about telescopes and were able to teach my ADHD son some things. We loved every part of the experience, the presentation was very informative and I recommend coming to this observatory. We will definitely be back. I am actually wanting to become a member that way I can volunteer and help support the observatory and the GRAA. Keep up the great work!!
