Goldendale Observatory State Park

Washington State Parks has reopened the newly renovated Goldendale Observatory State Park Heritage Site on a limited schedule. To comply with the state's Phase 3 order, the observatory will open at a reduced capacity. The free observatory programs will take place from 2 to 4 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays only. Visitors must register online for the programs. The facility will not open for drop-in visitors, and staff will not offer private tours. Afternoon programming will include the opportunity to tour the newly upgraded facility. Registered participants will be able to view the sun through the observatory's solar telescopes. The Goldendale Observatory is located two miles north of the town of Goldendale. The observatory houses one of the world's largest publicly accessible permanently mounted telescopes. Last year, Washington State Parks completed work on an extensive multi-year renovation of the observatory and grounds.
