The event is free and open to the general public, but donations are kindly accepted. We have kid friendly activities best suited to ages 5+. We have step stools so kids can reach the eyepieces.

Due to space limitations in the 1-meter dome there is a limit to how many people can observe through the 1-meter in a single night. Free tickets with tour times are distributed on the 2nd floor on a first come first served basis.

There are many other activities to explore: view a 3D poster gallery, take a walking guided tour of the solar system, interact with our gravity-well simulator, play some space trivia games, investigate informational astronomy posters, view our astrophotography gallery, and more! There is no fixed program for observations and no reservations are necessary.

Astronomy Open House nights are proudly sponsored and supported by: Embry-Riddle Observatories, Amateur Astronomy Club, and the Daytona Beach Campus Department of Physical Sciences.
