5 reviews for Observatory Park
My first time to O-Park was on a date. I thought that going to look at the stars would be a romantic end to the night. Sadly, the observatory was closed. We were too late for stars.
Fast-forward a couple years. I Finally went back and actually got to look through the telescope. It was fantastic! The cosmologist who led the class and the viewing told us that the observatory was priceless. "If this were a violin, it would be a Stratovarius." Very cool!
I haven't been back in a few years, but I hope it isn't closed forever...
it's not closed, go to the website to make a reservation.
Yes, the ancient observatory. Although I have never been inside, it would be nice to do that.
And the nice whole city block of a park, quiet and lush with big trees, as much fun at night as it is in the day.
An urban oasis in a nice safe neighborhood. Enjoy it.
This small park in the DU area is quiet and tucked away from just about everything. A remote part of the DU campus, this park surrounds the university's observatory. I don't know much about the building, but it was nice hanging out on the grass all evening. Even when the security guards roll by, they didn't kick us out. They just want to make sure nobody's in the observatory, I guess. Just mind the sprinklers after nine, okay?
Love the observatory, and I would like the chance to go in ( i think it;s closed forever?). The park is beautiful to look at, but it's not the kind of park I would want to read a book in. There don't seem to be many trees and it would be lonely. It's the kinda park that would give way to a smokin' hot Frisbee game. It has a lot of open space.
