M32***23, we had to go up to Palomar to see the observatory/telescopes. Fantastic history, informative visitor center, and good viewing room for the observatory scopes and mounts. If we had visited on a summer weekend, we would have taken this tour. Have now seen the largest radio telescope (Arecibo), the largest reflector (Hale/Palomar), and the largest refractor (Yerkes). My wife will be excited as I fill in the next tour details.San Diego county76.3km from San Diego

M30***66It is very convenient to go to the Observatory on your own. After getting off at Sunset Station on the Red Line of the subway, there is a free bus to the Observatory at the exit, which takes you directly to the gate of the Observatory. It runs every 20 minutes. It is expensive to park by car, and you have to walk a distance to reach the Observatory. You need to learn how to take the subway, which is convenient and free of traffic jams. Google Maps gives accurate directions, and Baidu Maps is also easy to use...United States · Los AngelesFree entry

coo***anI had visited the library several years ago but had not taken a docent-led tour. So we decided to visit the library again. The book is a wonderful read about the history of the building and the tragic fire in 1986. The docent guides you into several reading rooms, describing the structure and symbolism of the various decorations, and the library offers a surprising amount of service. It was a pleasant and very enlightening experience. Tours are available daily at 12:30. No reservations are required.United States · Rancho Mirage
