SIGN UP ✏️ 

Late Night Date Night is a popular monthly event at the Cincinnati Observatory. During this event, you’ll get to see what the Observatory is like after hours. You'll get to use telescopes to view astronomical objects that are not visible until late at night (weather permitting). Get a sneak preview of the next season's planets and stars a month or two ahead of everyone else. The program runs rain or shine. If the weather does not permit viewing, they'll have fun showing you around the universe and behind the scenes at the Observatory.

The April 13 event is sold out but they do still have spots open for the April 27 event. Tickets required.

GOOD TO KNOW ✔️
