Dome Access

Access to the dome can only be obtained via two metal, grated ladders.

Small children, people with mobility problems, and people afraid of heights may not wish to visit the dome.

Such visitors are of course still very welcome, and can simply engage with the speaker and members of the UMBC community on generally astronomical discussions.

It is strongly recommended that visitors to the dome wear sturdy and stable shoes (e.g., walking or jogging shoes).
