i suggest getting there just before sunset, like around 5:30 pm, so you can catch the stunning views and the transition from day to night—it's magical!

Definitely bring a camera! The observatory grounds are beautiful and the sunset can be stunning. I didn’t take enough pics last time and I regret it!

I recommend checking the weather before your visit, especially if you want to stargaze later. It can get cloudy, and you don’t want to miss out! Plan for a clear night for the best experience
