Amazing place to spend some time. We went on a couple tours during the day, went to dinner, then came back to look through the scopes after dark (Just keep your receipt) There was a huge line to get up to the scope, but the courteous and knowledgeable staff comes out to the line to share information about the observatory...

it was a perfectly clear and cloudless night in june, very few people, a sunday night around 8:30- about 10 people in line to look through the old wooden observatory.

Fascinating tour and sky viewing of the sun by day and stars at night. Well worth saving your entry ticket to return after dark for the night time viewing!

We had a wonderful time at Lowell Observatory. The tour was good. I think the best time to visit Lowell Observatory is night time.

The nine year old and my self enjoyed the talks and seeing the different telescopes. Seeing and learning about the creativity was amazing. Its a beautiful... More

The history of the Lowell family is a interesting part of the tour. The tour takes you from antique telescopes to modern telescopes. The buildings that are home to the telescopes also have great back stories... Not to be missed when in Flagstaff.

This is probably my favorite attraction in Flagstaff. I've visited many times dating back to school field trips as a child, and the vintage telescopes (the Clark telescope turned 116 years-old this year) are huge and amazing. The property dates back to 1894. There are two observatories, including the one where astronomers discovered Pluto, and an incredible old library with... More

didnt have alot of time on our hands but the 2 tours we took that told of the astrologers past and how this particular observatory was the one that found Pluto (the crazy planet) as the guide put it.
