It takes more than a telescope to open up the universe.

At Battle Point Observatory, wonder happens when a child looks through a telescope for the first time. When a classroom steps inside a portable planetarium. When a high-school student moves beyond learning about science and begins doing it. When neighbors gather under a dark sky and discover something together.

BPAA creates opportunities for people of all ages to experience astronomy and science firsthand – through public Star Parties, planetarium shows, youth programs, school outreach, science talks, hands-on workshops and community events. We hope you’ve had a chance to visit this past year and enjoy an event.

These experiences take more than telescopes. They take educational materials, equipment, trained volunteers, program support and the resources to bring astronomy out into our community. Learn what your gift helps make possible:
