Welcome to the Adirondack Sky Center & Observatory

In the heart of the Adirondack Mountains, Tupper Lake, NY provides one of the best destinations for stargazing in the East. The combination of low-light pollution, low humidity and high altitude provide nearly ideal conditions for night sky viewing. It is here where the Adirondack Sky Center & Observatory (formerly the Adirondack Public Observatory) has been laying its roots into the dark side of a hill on Big Wolf Road.

This relatively new and growing facility strives to "provide quality educational experiences for people of all ages through the science, technology, and history of astronomy." Offering a variety of unique public stargazing opportunities, educational lectures, family-friendly events, and more, the Adirondack Sky Center & Observatory is exposing the night sky in a whole new dimension. Check out our schedule of events and viewing schedule and then come discover the night sky with us.

The Adirondack Sky Center & Observatory is excited to announce that we are welcoming visitors back to the Roll Off Roof Observatory for public observing events. We are now on our winter observing schedule and will be open the first and third Friday of each month, weather permitting. Check Facebook for winter observing events, and visit our Events page for virtual lectures!
