One of the first observatories in Eastern Europe, and the first in Ukraine, this facility was created in 1821 for the Black Sea Fleet to aid orientation and time-keeping. The observatory sits at a height of 50 metres in the centre of the city and still conducts research on the dynamics of bodies in the solar system and research of near-Earth objects. The museum has more than 150 items, among which are antique astronomical clocks, charts, telescopes, sextants, books and chronometers. There are also portraits of some of the personalities associated with the observatory over its 195-year history.

In all lists "what to do in Nikolaev" the observatory is at the beginning of the list. Came here in the afternoon (by the way, Google maps are a little wrong there), and the area is closed. Fortunately, the security guard saw me, refused to let us into the area so we could look at the building, but gave me a business card with the number of a person who can organize morning or evening tours. At first we were unlucky, because all the seats were occupied for two weeks. But a day later places for our small group became available and we joined the evening tour. It was not possible to pay in cash on the spot, only by paying the invoice in advance you can get on the tour. A little awkward I really enjoyed looking inside Saturn and Mercury, and listening to the stories of the observatory staff. Professionals. You may want to consider an entrance ticket for those who just want to come in during the day, see the main building, the area, or go to a photo shoot. I think it would be interesting, plus some extra money for the organization.

The whole family went on an evening tour. It was quite interesting, especially when they started looking into the telescope. I liked Luna. She was so beautiful! It is only sad that all the equipment is outdated, the premises need repair, there is a lack of lighting on the territory ... But all the same - it will be interesting and informative.

Very beautiful, full of history place. Friendly staff conduct interesting and informative tours (as for an adult, this is exactly what the doctor prescribed). Huge territory, interesting exposition. And of course it needs investment and attention!
