After being closed for almost three years for construction of a wonderful new accessibility and education addition, the Detroit Observatory will finally open its doors to visitors! We are proud to be hosting an event associated with Statewide Astronomy Night!

Join us for tours, exhibits, videos — and camaraderie. See the amazing new video wall! Interact with our student docents! Interact with a variety of digital and physical exhibits! And, weather permitting, view the stars!

In order to optimize our visitors’ experiences, this is a ticketed event with timed entry: 8pm-9pm, 9pm-10pm, 10pm-11pm. Spots are limited, so be sure to register early.

Please be sure to check the current status of our COVID protocols, on the Detroit Observatory's Visit page, before coming to the event. Thanks.
