To request a date for your group to visit the observatory, follow the 3 simple steps below. Or, use our calendar to find special events at LTO.
STEP 1: Find an open time slot in the calendar below. Use navigation arrows < or > to change months as needed. Clicking on an open date on the calendar has no effect, it is for viewing purposes only.
Notes: Currently, LTO volunteer staff is capable of hosting only one visitor group per night. The observatory is closed annually during July for maintenance and construction projects. June 2025 dates are now available for scheduling. August 2025 dates will be opened up in late June.
Please allow at least 2 weeks lead time for LTO to staff your visit.
After finding an available date, continue to steps 2 and 3 below the calendar.
