McDonald Observatory

WHY I LIKE IT: Big Bang Theory. If you only go to one party during your West Texas adventure, make sure it’s a Star Party at the McDonald Observatory.  Get ready for a night of star gazing like you’ve never seen before, while learning about the shimmering cosmos in all of it’s glory.

DON’T MISS THE: views leading to the observatory at dusk and sunset. It’s magical. 

DON’T KILL MY VIBE: Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars.

WHEN YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW: Make sure to reserve tickets in advance (they usually sell out) and bring a blanket for an evening with the stars- it gets chilly.
