While the primary focus of the observatory is forefront scientific research, within the very limited resources of budget and manpower under which we operate we are still able to offer occasional tours of the facility. If you are interested in a group tour, please first carefully review our tour policy to see if your group qualifies.

Our Visitors' Center and gift shop are open to the public during daylight hours nearly every day of the year. For more information, call (408) 274-5062.
