The new Goldendale Observatory is complete!
46 years after construction of Goldendale Observatory, the first major renovation of this unique State Park is nearly complete. A much larger and more advanced learning center now stands in compliment to the iconic main observatory dome and the newly upgraded telescope within. Seating capacity has more than tripled and self-guided interpretive exhibits are being installed throughout the campus.
Since 1973 Goldendale has been home to a great treasure. Right on the hill overlooking town we have one of the largest and most accessible public telescopes in the nation. Thousands of star gazers, amateur astronomers, and students travel to Goldendale every year to meet the stars at Goldendale Observatory State Park.
