Tour and Observing to follow


Due to the popularity of these talks, you may only reserve 2 tickets. If you have attended several recently, you may be asked to let another have your spots. If your plans change, you must cancel so someone else can have your spot.


This historic building is partially handicapped accessible, including the lecture hall and first part of the tour, but not the telescopes. If you are coming from Pittsburgh on 279 and exit for Hazlett St., do NOT turn left of Milroy. Continue to the 4th left and let your gps reroute you. Park on the right hand side of the road that loops around the observatory.
