Telescope Viewing
Telescopes offer visitors to the Adler a live astronomical experience, peering into the sky to view the Moon, planets and stars. Staffed telescope viewing on the Sky Pavilion’s telescope terraces can be scheduled for private events. Adler staff will operate the instrument, explain its use, and interpret what is being seen. This service can be available for private events, dependent on weather and visibility. Due to staffing requirements, telescope viewing must be scheduled with the Private Events Department at least six weeks in advance of the event.
Three hours of telescope viewing $250 per instrument
