Reviews
A great observatory, historical and interesting. We went for free during Open House Chicago
Great place! It’s free. You can’t see much due to all the light pollution a fun thing to do late on a Friday night.
Fantastic urban astronomy setting with historic telescope and great viewing
Although the telescope didn't work on 01/20 during the Lunar eclipse, I have been there previously and it was a great view, with friendly staff and cool pre-war architecture/interior design.
Open to public, with Northwestern students showing interesting galaxy. Summer hour is 9PM-11PM Friday.
Very interesting 140 year old observatory on the Northwestern University campus. Open Friday evenings for use by the public.
Great students and facilities. Go look at the stars!
A magnificent piece of history. Spectacular!
A great historical building with a unique instrument.
