The UMBC Observatory team offers various events that are open to the public and completely free. A listing of them is given below as linked from the myUMBC Group Page for the Observatory.
It is important to note that the telescope is located in a dome on top of the Physics Building on the UMBC campus. Access to the dome involves climbing & descending 2 ladders, which may be a challenge to some visitors such as children and people with physical disabilities. Please refer to the Dome Access page to avoid disappointment. However, touring the dome is only a part of these events, and much learning and discussion is still available.
