About this Event

Important: This event is held on the first clear night (or most clear night) starting with the specified event date and time. Check this link for the status of each night: http://observatory.smu.ca/bgo-visit/public-open-houses/status

If the Friday event is cancelled, it is rescheduled for Saturday at the same time. If Saturday is also cloudy, we will try again on Sunday at the same time. If Sunday is ALSO cloudy, we will still go-ahead with the tour but will be limited in activities (our telescope cannot see through clouds!)

Your confirmation email from your Eventbrite registration will have useful information.

If you are not available for at least two of these nights, in fairness to others who are, please don't reserve tickets.

The Open House lasts about 90 minutes and includes visiting the Observatory, looking at various astronomical objects through our big telescope, and discussing the nature of these objects.

Suitable for ages 8 and up. Note that the observatory is NOT accessible - there are two flights of stairs.

COVID-19: Masks are recommended on SMU campus. If you are feeling unwell, please cancel your ticket and join us in the next event, we'll happily help you reschedule if you reach out.
