Reviews of Frosty Drew Observatory and Science Center
"I have had multiple wonderful visits at frosty drew observatory. This most recent visit, the astronomers were incredibly kind and accommodating, even sticking around to let me get my own shot of Jupiter! I have always found them knowledgeable and willing to go out of their way. Some nights in the winter are especially cold and as they have been out there for an extended period late into the night, they understandably have a closing time. Many of them travel from hours away to get to the observatory and thus, have a long haul back home. Despite this, I have found they are very amiable especially to those who have an understanding reception to their boundaries."
"Showed up to see a meteor shower and watch from inside the telescope, when we got there the two men running it had it shut down. I proceeded to ask if it was open and they rudely told us no and said they offered three hours of observation already as if we were to already know with a scoffed attitude. Very disappointed and expected more from my first visit."
"I just visited Frosty Drew Observatory & Science Center last night and it was magical. Wow! What an incredible experience looking through telescopes and being able to see stars, nebulae, constellations, galaxies and so much more! Especially in the Observatory building itself looking through the massive, high powered telescope! Amazing! The staff were great! Extremely nice and welcoming and very knowledgeable! They answered any questions we asked with a smile. Bill especially! So much knowledge and passion and enthusiasm from him! He explained things thoroughly in a way that was easy for all ages to understand. So much fun, so much to see and so much to learn! I left feeling a sense of wonder and awe. Thanks Frosty Drew for an unforgettable and spectacular summer night of stargazing! So glad I discovered this awesome little gem! Can't wait to come back another time!"
"We went on the full moon, nice and dark clear night. Noone was there. Very quiet. Have been during a public viewing event as well, very educational and exciting. Make sure to check their page and the weather as well. And bundle up it gets chilly out there!"
"They have a star gazing night every Friday. It's from 6:30pm-10:30pm - people stay for as long as they want, there'sno time limit. You don't buy tickets online but when you get there. You have to get tickets for the observatory separately, and we got there too late for that. They have 3 telescopes outside and 1 in the observatory. There are people (students and interns mostly) at each of the telescopes outside who answer questions and give lots of information. You can also go to the house across the street to see astrophotography which is quite special."
