Description

Visitor Center of the Observatory with shop and cafe. In the center you can book your activities like day tours, star parties (Tues, Fr and Sat) and twilight tours. But better book night activities ahead by internet as the tours are sold out quickly. www.mcdonaldobservatory.org

For the people looking to do the star party but are worried about the weather (cloudy = no telescopes). If it is cloudy the observatory offers 3 choices.
1. Continue with indoor activities (presentations, live shows, etc)
2. A delay on your reservation. At anytime (even in a couple years) you can return and use the same reservation.
3. Full refund - $3 for admin fees.

I’m not 100% sure they do this every time, but I’d assume they do if the weather does not permit telescope viewing as that is what most people are there for.
