Bay Curious Walking Tour: Lick Observatory

Did you know there is an observatory just outside San Jose?

The Lick Observatory on Mount Hamilton has been at the forefront of astronomy since its founding in 1888. It was debuted as the world’s first year-round accessible mountain-top observatory.

Join Bay Curious, the KQED podcast that answers listeners’ questions about curiosities in the Bay, to explore this historic observatory way on top of a mountain. This is a small, private tour, so space will be limited.

Find out more about the Observatory’s public evening tours and everything involved in the experience here.
