We arrived before the visitor center was open but were not disappointed with the small walking path and plenty of informative displays available. There is also a public restroom available near the walking path - very nice! The water at the drinking fountain was turned off but the amenities otherwise were top notch. Educational displays spread around gave great insight into the observatory as well as natural features.
Great views and friendly staff. The Smithsonian is a really great institution and the observatory makes for a great trip. The drive up has really great views and natural beauty and it was fun to learn about the telescope. Anyways, it was very fun and great and a wonderful experience to have with the whole family.
Informative team at base visitor center. Lots to read and learn. Area to picnic. Lovely 3d map of Santa Ritas gives great perspective of Madera Canyon trails and entire area. Videos, handouts, souveniers, beautiful scenery.
This place is worth the drive! We both loved visiting and hearing the history and what the future holds for this amazing place. The guide John M was very friendly and answered all our questions. We can't wait to go back for a tour.
Great views and friendly staff make for a fantastic day trip from Tucson, AZ. Easy drive with paved roads to the visitor center. The larger telescope above the visitor center is by tour only (contact to find out current schedule).
