Ladd Observatory is an amazing place. I am an astronomy enthusiast, but I did not have any chance to go to any observatories before here. I liked the place and saw the moon through their huge telescope. The building is pretty old, but you can see the history of telescopes and machines, sort of. The staff and people are super nice and helpful.
They have weekly (Tuesday evenings) free space viewings, with telescopes set up to show various interesting things and staff to explain what you're seeing and answer questions. If you like space stuff, it's a kick. Be sure to check their site before you go, as their hours are weather-dependent.
They have a bunch of nice events open to the public, check their website.nnThe grounds are also a great place to hang out and relax, read a book, picnic, whatever you like.
What a beautiful, historic site! Ladd Observatory is operated by Brown University, and hosts weekly observation and lecture sessions during the year. Be sure to check them out on a clear night!
Very cool place with some dedicated volunteers and staff. Interesting museum to complement the telescopes.
