Observatory Closed Through the Weekend
Just to keep everybody posted the observatory is closed and will be so at least through February 15th.
Does that include the gift shop?
ReplyDeleteIt will be closed but if you need to get something you can find ordering info here.
ReplyDeleteIs there a lot of snow there? Is that why it is closed?
ReplyDeleteWe are mostly closed because of our major maintenance project going on with the 200-inch telescope.
ReplyDeleteWe do have some snow but it is melting fast. It is pretty much gone in every sunny place.
Will the parking lot/picnic area around the observatory be closed tomorrow? Is there enough snow for kids to play?
ReplyDeleteThe parking lot & the entire observatory grounds are currently closed to the public.
ReplyDeleteThe snow is melting fast. It is totally gone in the sunny areas but some does remain in the shady spots.
Good Morning!
ReplyDeleteIs there enough snow left for some kids' play today?
