Awesome educational and fun place for kids. The 120 year old Clark telescope is still operational. Learnt about the Discovery channel telescope. Of course, had the original telescope that Pluto was found with. It is a private facility that is very active in research. Origins of Big Bang theory were observed here.

It's a really great and neat place for those even vaguely interested in astronomy. The tour guides are very knowledgeable. My daughter just turned 11 and we came up from Phoenix to go here for her birthday. My only issue with it is they are limited in staff so sometimes it can be hard to find someone to answer your questions adequately. Also, sometimes the tours run long and then you miss the start of the next one. Or if you can't/don't want to be there all day, you have to choose between seeing certain things/tours. Really neat place, a little steep in price for what is offered, though. They do offer veteran's discount though, we appreciated that.
