Staff pick the targets for each night: the November session lists Saturn, the Andromeda Galaxy and the Great Pegasus Cluster as possible sights, and the December session lists Saturn, Andromeda and the Pleiades. Both nights run 7 to 10 p.m. and are billed as suitable for all ages, which makes them an easy first stargazing outing for children who can stay up a little late. Only the observatory and the outdoor restrooms are open; the museum building itself is closed. The observatory is not heated, so dress for a cold night outside, and note that observing is not possible right around sunset. Clouds or bad weather can cancel a session. Tickets are $6 for non-members and $3 for members, bought online in advance. ## Similar picks in Atlanta - [Sensory Morning 2026](https://grassyknees.com/atlanta/activities/sensory-morning-2026--listing-0afe0fc16e2358bda2d54084) — Sat, Nov 7 · 9:00 AM – 11:00 AM · Fernbank Museum of Natural History · All ages · With admission · checked Oct 11.
