For the astronomers amongst us; this is a good black out spot- with telescopes. 30 minutes away

Check the schedule to make sure the program is operating, but a fantastic place to see the stars. The guide is very knowledgable and points to the stars and constellations with his laser pointer. You can also take turns with the high-powered telescope. Super cool. Hike around the LCRA park on 8 miles of trails along the lake before heading to the observatory.

The observatory is a sliding-roof design with two independently retractable roof sections. Each roof section moves to create a variable size, side-viewing slit, or both sections may be moved to open the entire structure to the sky. Eagle Eye Observatory provides modern telescopes with computer-enhanced imaging and astronomical instruments.

THIS IS A REALLY SPECIAL EXPERIENCE! The Observatory is about a 40 minute drive from Vagabond’s but it’s not for everybody. You don’t have to be serious astronomers to love or appreciate the observatory. The guides are well versed at handling tours for both hobbyists & enthusiasts. It’s both romantic and fascinating. Check the weather to make sure the skies will be clear not cloudy for best results. Presentations start on time or early. You climb up a ladder to look through a VERY EXPENSIVE POWERFUL HUGE telescope. You’ll see stars and the craters on the moon. What to expect? In groups of approx. 20 w each person taking a turn, and lots of questions, this isn’t something for young children. They tend to get bored during discussion. Older kids should be interested in the subject if you expect them to enjoy the experience. No flashlights, the dark sky is preserved, your walking way is illuminated by subtle red lighting so that ultimate light contamination for telescope viewing is preserved. The building itself is a bit of a “shack” the “star of the show” (pun intended!) are the stars, comets, galaxies, and planets. This is a wonderful experience even if you aren’t typically a night owl. Things to note; this is an outdoor trek. Wear good walking shoes and dress warmly (layer up it gets chilly). If you are a member of the Austin Astrological Society there are 29 stations where you can set up your own telescope (12.5” & 16”) there is also 1 free public night a month so check their calendar for that, other wise there are admission fees. While the Observatory is located on Canyon of The Eagles Resort you do not have to stay at the resort to visit the observatory. IT IS NOT OPEN FULL TIME SO CHECK BEFORE YOU GO. Say hello to Venus and the Moon for us
