Robert Ferguson Observatory

Kenwood

"the only observatory in CA where they allow you to personally look through the lenses"
Arrive before sundown so headlights don't ruin the viewing
Starts after dark: naps and caffeine are key for kids

The largest public observatory in the western US, tucked into hills that block the Bay Area's glow. Peer through massive telescopes at nebulas and galaxies while passionate volunteer docents answer every question.
