There was an interesting talk on space, but the display was a little hard to follow and was not explained by the speaker. The better telescopes are not available to the public, but the 25" one was set up for saturn and a smaller one was on jupiter, so we got to see small, but recognizable, images of those planets....

Never really appreciated what has gone on at this place over the years but going on a couple of the short tours here really made it come alive

We had great fun participating in some of Lowell's programs. It's well worth a few hours for a visit.

We took the tour in the morning--very interesting and well done. We returned in the evening to see the movie and waited in line to view Saturn (with rings) and Jupiter in the big telescope. Our grandchildren loved it and so did we!

Beautiful place to stop and see the city from above. On our visit, we saw the double stars and Saturn from the telescope.
