The Prince George Astronomical Observatory will be hosting a public open house on Friday, March 20th at 8:00 pm. Doors will open at 7:45 pm.

The evening will begin with Ken’s astronomical presentation, “4 Beginnings” starting at 8:00 pm. Following the talk, guests will have the opportunity to observe the night sky using some of the Observatory’s telescopes, weather permitting.

As temperatures tend to drop in the evening, please dress warmly.

A suggested donation of $2 per person or $5 per family is appreciated to help support the observatory and allow us to continue offering public events like this.
