The Oregon Observatory at Sunriver is a one-of-a-kind facility. With the help of our staff you’ll see nebulas, binary stars, star clusters, galaxies, and planets. There may even be an opportunity for the public to try their hand at operating powerful telescopes on their own with the help of our staff and volunteers. Unlike Planetariums, at the Observatory you'll see the real thing. Strict light pollution control in Sunriver lets us see deep sky objects that are washed out in the city. On a busy night, it's not unusual for us to have a dozen or more 4-30 inch diameter telescopes in operation. Often other amateur astronomers will bring their own equipment and join in the fun. The Oregon Observatory is a hands-on experience unlike any other. Summer Hours: Tuesday - Sunday 9pm-11pm
Fall Hours Wednesday and Saturday 8pm - 10pm
Admission: Adults - $10
