Stargazer without leaving Cedar City with a guided experience at Ashcroft Observatory.
Located on the hilltop just south of the SUU farm on Westview Drive, the Ashcroft Observatory has been open since the 1970's. With a focus on community involvement and learning opportunities, it's a great resource for visitors and locals alike.
The Ashcroft Observatory is open every Monday night to all those interested in learning about constellations or viewing distant parts of the galaxy. Though weather conditions might alter this schedule!
