Always so much fun to visit here. The setting is amazing. Up on a hill overlooking the trees of Western Nashville. Sometimes you can catch the sunset. Then the real views come out. The telescope is fun to see our neighbors in the sky. If you get a chance to go to Bluebird on the Mountain, definitely go. The songwriters are great and being outside is awesome. Stay after for a peek at the stars!
Lovely experience! Everyone should attend their open house if possible. The view from their powerful telescopes is magnificent. Tickets are very inexpensive, just be sure to reserve early. One of Nashville’s best kept secrets.
Awesome outreach events are held here every second Friday of the month. You will see awesome celestial objects and learn about or place in the universe! Come in later fall and winter for the best views of the cosmos (weather permitting).
A gem of a place. The open house days are a great to opportunity to explore the observatory building and it's various astronomy and physics related collections in a great observatory building which houses a telescope. There is a tour with friendly well informed eager to share their knowledge astronomers. If that isn't enough there is also an area a short walk through a wooded bluff to the star chamber a unique camera obscura. This is by reservation only so note that it is popular which means advance planning.
Every so often, Vanderbilt University offers nighttime star gazing events at their observatory. I would definitely recommend signing up. It was a great experience and if you get the opportunity to visit on a clear night then you will not be disappointed.
