Only people passionate about space and astronomy can do what the people here at Perkins observatory do. They have really good speakers who narrate the history of the place and the space artifacts on display here.

A little known treasure in Central Ohio. Check out their nighttime public programs.

I really enjoyed the speakers. The building has a quite a lot of historical value which makes it worth going even on a cloudy night. If you love old computers, they practically have a museum of them. Obviously going on a clear night where you can use the telescope would be ideal. We weren't so lucky, but we plan on going back several times.

Seeing Perkins Observatory and listening to the presentations about the stars was a lot of fun. The volunteer staff did a great job keeping everyone engaged including the kids. Being in Ohio, there is a slim chance the big telescope will be used. But although we did not get to see through the telescope, I am glad I went and plan to go again. I suggest arriving when they open to check out the displays and computers.

If you have any interest in the stars, space, or astronomy, this is a great place to go to learn more and experience things firsthand. There are public programs fairly frequently (time changes, check the website or call for the latest). The public progams include a basic tour of both outer space and the space inside the historic observatory building which has lots of exhibits and interesting artifacts including a giant telescope mirror.

Make sure you call ahead and get tickets before making the trek. The programs are popular and if you just show up you may be turned away at the door since its a fairly popular place and they can only accomidate a limited number of people.
