The tour was informative and interesting. The telescopes are quite impressive, there is a big one and two smaller ones. The weather did not permit to study the sky, thus there was a presentation of the equipment, the planets and stars we can see with the telescope on a clear night. The presentation was held in German. We could also see the city of Zurich from the terrace.
The tour was in German. Since I was a tourist and didn't speak German, the whole 1 hour session was kind of mime. Though few of my fellow attendees were very helpful and translated the explanations. I did see jupiter and saturn.
Galactic magic in the heart of Zürich. On a clear summer sky, we were able to see the Moon's craters, Jupiter and its satellites and Saturn and its rings. Just witnessing the wooden dome rotate above you is a spectacle on its own, as well as the glimpses of the Zürich city at night from high above. Our narrator had a PhD in Astrophysics, was a lead of a telescope in Tenerife, and sent a few satellites to space for Nasa. The presentation was done in German, worth checking if there is an English version
Observatory trip only held in German. Bummer for ones who don’t understand it. The entrance to the observatory is through a restaurant below. Elevator’s last stop takes to the observatory and a coffee place beneath. One can go up the elevator and enjoy the view of bahnofstrasse for free.
In the city center. Great for adults and kids
A great place to learn something about the universe. And in the middle of Zürich
I wasted thirty years of living in the Zürich Area by not having been here sooner! Very informative and interesting tour with the opportunity to look beyond the moon and examine the the stars.
