Think city lights make stargazing impossible? Think again!
Join us for Urban Astronomy, a special workshop where you'll get a guided tour of the nighttime sky—right from the roof of the Maryland Science Center. Using our observatory and smaller telescopes, you'll have the chance to view planets, bright stars, and other celestial highlights that shine through urban light pollution.
Our expert guides will point out visible constellations, share tips for stargazing in the city, and explain what makes the autumn sky unique. Come see what the city sky has to offer!
If the observatory closes due to inclement weather conditions, the scheduled rain date is Saturday, April 25. If you can’t make the rain date, your tickets will be refunded in full.
This ticket grants access to the observatory only and does not include admission to other exhibits within the Maryland Science Center.
