Beautiful observatory and property! Kim, the secretary, is amazing! The astronomers who speak on public nights are kind and knowledgeable. I love visiting!

An isolated place as astronomical observarories should be. Need a car to get there.

Unfortunately, no. There are stairs to enter the building and the planetarium, and the main telescopes are reached by stairs to the roof.

What time is it open?

They are open during public programs (check their website). Delaware Astronomical Society also meets there -almost every Tuesday at 7pm.

Is the observatory open to the public? As a hands on tour?

Can you get married there and have a reception?

I mean you can get married wherever you want, but you would have to set something up. Maybe on the roof that would be cool.
