This observatory is definitely a must-see for the beautiful view and for educational purposes. The ultimate stop for nerding out. Bring walking shoes, because you will burn off your breakfast on the hike up the hill. They have neat interactive games, videos and demos to explain how the observatory and outer space works, plus knowledgeable staff on hand. There is also an impressive collection of meteors with information about where they were found. You probably won’t think about the night sky in the same way again.
