About this adventure

The George Observatory, part of the Houston Museum of Natural Science and located deep within Brazos Bend State Park in the southwest suburbs, hosts Saturday night stargazing. Away from city light pollution, professional astronomers and experienced volunteers may guide families using multiple domed giant telescopes, including a 36-inch top research-grade instrument, to potentially view Saturn's rings, Jupiter's Great Red Spot, the Orion Nebula, and distant galaxies. The event may also feature laser pointer constellation explanations and an indoor "Milky Way and Meteorites" parent-child interactive exhibition. The observatory's top deck has a gentle ramp, which may allow strollers onto the main stargazing platform. The facility reportedly has clean, warm restrooms and family changing facilities. Parents are suggested to bring warm jackets and red-filtered flashlights.
