I loved this place when I visited in Feb of 16. Great little educational museum there in the visitors center that goes over the spectrums of light, rf, uv, and the other things.

This is a fascinating place! As long as you can survive without a cell phone signal and wifi (its actually quite refreshing), this place is more than worth the drive to get to. The science center is fascinating with a plethora of hands-on exhibits teaching about how to observe the universe. It's great for kids and adults. Seeing the telescopes up close is even cooler. It's incredible just how HUGE the Green Bank Telescope is. You really can't get a sense for its size unless you go there.
If you stay overnight, the facilities range from very nice to adequate. Be sure to check out the Drake Lounge where Francis Drake first presented his famous equation exploring the chances of finding intelligence life elsewhere in the universe.

One of the best experiences I had when I went there for 3 days. It was so cool to actually try out the telescopes and record data that is actually readable. Definitely recommended!

I visited the Green Bank Observatory last weekend. I would definitely recommend taking a day trip there! Every employee at the facility was nice from the lady who ran the front desk, to the cafe workers, to our tour guide. You could tell our tour guide enjoyed his job. He was funny and entertaining. He encouraged questions and answered in dept. Seeing a telescope that large was just so cool, and hearing the history of all the other telescopes and learning about the research they conduct was awesome!

The facility had a nice cafe. The prices were fairly cheap, especially for an "attraction" and they even offered healthier options which was a plus! The gift shop was nice and prices were reasonable. The lady in the gift shop was very welcoming and engaged in conversation with us.

The only down fall was the Science Center. Many of the interactive exhibits were either out-dated or did not work. That wasn't a major downer for us though, the tour itself is what made the trip!

Awesome, definitely worth walking the path if you are in the area. Remember to turn off your cell phone. And just walking around is free. The path is a proportional representation of the solar system, very cool!

Nice scenery. The restaurant could use a little more variety and the gift shop is a little pricey, but everyone should visit it at least once. You will see multiple telescopes and possibly wildlife on the tour. I know many people in this little town and the people are awesome individuals rich in history. A nice ,quiet, little country town with a big heart.
