Halloween Night Observation Event

In celebration of Halloween at the end of October, we hold an observation event where you can have fun in costume. If the weather is clear, you can see bright stars even in the daytime through one of the largest telescopes in the country. At night, let's observe Saturn, ghost-like nebulae, and celestial bodies that are in season for autumn viewing. The museum is decorated for Halloween, allowing you to enjoy the approaching Halloween night. If you enter wearing a costume, you will receive candy on a first-come, first-served basis without age restrictions. Be sure not to forget warm clothing, as it gets cold at night.
