Lowell Tour

Meet your educator in the Giclas Lecture Hall for a journey through Lowell’s history.

You’ll learn about the careful process of selecting the observatory’s location, its founding, the fascinating Mars research conducted by Percival Lowell himself, and much more! You’ll also get an up-close look at the world-famous Clark Telescope, which was used by the astronauts of the Apollo 11 Moon mission for training purposes.
