All pricing excludes the Brazos Bend State Park Entrance Fee
Weather permitting, telescope tickets become available at the George Observatory Gift Shop on Saturdays. Stargazers marvel at the night sky through one of the George Observatory’s telescopes, far away from the light pollution of the big city. It is truly a sight you won’t want to miss.
Tickets to view the night sky from the George Observatory telescopes go on sale after 3 p.m. on Saturdays. Because stargazing is weather dependent, tickets may only be purchased in-person. In the event of overcast skies, tours and talks by our expert astronomers are still available.
Available Saturday nights.
