The Observatory

BU Astronomy

Spend a few hours learning a little astronomy, and looking through Boston University's not very powerful telescopes. You won't be seeing much of anything if the lights are on at Fenway Park. Tickets are free, but you still have to "buy" them online in advance, because space is limited. The stairwell to the Observatory is on the fifth floor just to the left of room 520.
