This top-notch astronomical research facility is perched on Mount John. Established in 1965, this observatory boasts several telescopes, including the impressive 1.8-meter MOA telescope. During a stargazing tour, you’ll get the chance to stargaze with the naked eye (guided by the handheld lasers of guides), powerful telescopes, and even through the Mount John Observatory dome.
