Loved seeing the telescopes, but the museum was closed unless you had a reservation. We were able to walk the grounds, take some pics. The gps didn't take us to the right place. It took us to a school and a dead end road. You have to go up another mile for the center. Also, we could see it from. Bald Knob on the Cass Scenic Railroad.

We did the bus tour with our parents and sons. Everyone enjoyed the tour and visiting the science center afterwards. Lots of information during the tour. Just a heads up, you can NOT have your cell phone on during the tour. If you want to take photos you have to have an old fashioned camera with actual film.
