College of Charleston Observatory

Facilities Available During Open House

Our main 24" telescope housed in the dome will not be part of the Open Houses. We will have our smaller, portable telescopes set up on the roof deck, portable planetarium on the first floor, and classrooms with physics and astronomy demos on the third floor. All open house events are free and open to the public. They are extremely family and kid friendly. 

All events are subject to weather, particularly tropical weather. If the College of Charleston closes its facilities, then we will not be able to hold the Open House.
