Client Reviews on University of California Observatories
Feedback:
We had such a great "Evening with the Stars for Google" at Lick Observatory! First a history lecture, followed by a science lecture by Dr. Alex Filippenko. Then ample viewing opportunities through the 36-inch Great Refractor and the 40-inch Nickel Telescope with volunteers giving interesting background information. The evening ended with stargazing in the backyard where amateur astronomers had set up ground telescopes to view various cosmic objects. Truly an amazing night!
Feedback:
Fun place to visit. On good air day you can see forever.

I love Observatorys. Historical telescope and beautiful buildings. Nice Gift shop.
Feedback:
Fantastic and historical place right here in the Bay Area. All the telescopes are fantastic and marvellous piece of ingenuity and technology. Apart from the telescopes, lots of engineering and technological things to see and appreciate, like the platform that completely raises/lowers. Due to its elevation, the observatory can get cold on most days.
Feedback:

Feedback:
I'm not from California, but I can't imagine many places in the Bay Area that has as great a view as the Lick Observatory/Mount Hamilton. To the west, you can see the Silicon Valley, parts of the San Francisco Bay and the Santa Cruz Mountains. In other directions, you can see the rest of the very golden (at least when I was there) Diablo Range. The drive up to the observatory is pretty scary, but worth it.Discovering rocky exoplanets with robotic telescopes is also pretty cool, I guess.
Feedback:
Lick observatory is a great place for science and nature lover both. The information shared during the talk session which happens every one hour was quite helpful. I believe it will help people to inculcate scientific and astronomic interest.
Feedback:
The food is always fresh and tasty, employees gives great service. I really like the cleanliness and atmosphere. I highly recommend this place.
Feedback:
We arrived finally there after the long and widing road. We saw the quite beautiful sight. Tour of big reflection telescope is also good.
