We had NO idea this place existed! Volunteers who staffed on the day were friendly, passionately welcoming & knowledgeable. Fantastic enthusiasm, exceptional facilities and care, positive encouragement to explore our skies - brilliant wee day, plus, our ten year old loved it - that's a win! ☆☆☆☆☆

Hoober is full of wonderful structures and buildings but why aren't any open?. Not sure if this observatory is functional but it's criminal if it isn't? Always locked up and looking unloved everytime I pass?
