I was able to see Jupiter and Saturn. Two shooting stars, the big dipper was the biggest I've ever seen it. The Milky Way was gorgeous. Definitely will be back

Good facility. Very good instructors and volunteers. Worth visiting for all ages, to know about the universe, stars and planets

This place is wonderful, I have had the pleasure of going here since I was 10 and every year they improve! My favorite part is the fact that the volunteers truly love space and do their best to educate everyone that comes. AND it's free!

Love this place. Jupiter and three moons were clearly visible. Saturn with rings looked so close. Great star tour.

Usually I drive to a Blue Canyon Airport. But it should be around 1:30.
You are not permitted to bring your own telescope there, even when the observatory is closed.
Yep, you can! I just went yesterday. There's a parking lot and a path lit with lights
No reservations required, but call beforehand. The have to have enough volunteers to help out.
Also try their website. Lots of links. Maybe it will direct you in right direction.
Jupiter, maybe some small clusters or nebulae through the 2 big telescopes they have, and a good star tour. Make sure to install Googke Sky App to make out and see the constellations in the sky, it's a very helpful app for amatures. Telescopes and star tours only avaliable if the staff is there.
You can volunteer! The docents (guides) are very friendly and knowledgeable.
