Stargazing is awesome! It is not always open so check their website first.

I like the north shore of Big Bear lake. Less people, fishing, hiking and a few hidden enclaves...

Another beautiful secluded location. If you have your own kayak or SUP board then this place is for you. Very few venture here so shhh...🤫

The observatory is 1/2 mile west of the Discovery Center on Hwy 38/North Shore Drive. For more detailed directions click here . Please understand that due to the limitations of our docent volunteers and the physical size of the observatory, tours must remain small and limited in size. All attending must be able to walk 1000' down and back on a gravel road as well as up and down three flights of stairs to access the telescope.
