Private Programs

You can reserve the Observatory for a private session for yourself and your guests for an Evening Under the Stars, a guided and customized tour of the sky.

Please contact us to make arrangements (and get recommendations for nights when particularly interesting astronomical events will occur) by email at observatory@marylandsciencecenter.org or by phone at 410-545-2985.

Two hour blocks of time in the Observatory are available from Sunday to Thursday between 5:00 and 10:00 PM during the school year; expanded days and hours are available during the summer. This session is weather permitting, so have two backup rain dates in mind when making your reservations.
