Public Events

Every third Saturday of the month we hold an open house at the Meyer Observatory. These family-friendly events are open to the general public free of charge and are great for all ages! Open houses offer telescope viewing opportunities and a chance to learn more about the exciting world of astronomy. Although the event is free, we do encourage visitors to register ahead of time so we have an estimate of how many people to expect.

We also host other public stargazing events (star parties) at various locations in central Texas. Please see our calendar for more information about all of our public events and how to register.
