  Home of the GBT - the largest telescope of its kind on the planet. It's an awesome sight for anyone interested in science, engineering, architecture, or if you just like big things. Mankind's limitless curiosity and ingenuity is all on display here.

  For a science and tech type of person this is awesome. But also a good area for a nature lover.. The observatory is well integrated into the landscape and is not obtrusive. Night time here is great so little light pollution and great view of the sky (obviously)

  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!

  Electronics are not illegal here. All wireless devices including Bluetooth just won't work.
  There's a large radio telescope in this town that rules the airwaves. Just consider it a very large
  Jamming device which we need in certain areas of this country to get more people out and live life without being tied to a battery with a screen!
