Great place to learn with beautiful views. You must pay $4/hr for parking and if the observatory is busy you could end up walking a mile in hot weather. There is closer parking but it fills up quickly. If you have the option take a tour bus that drops you off at the top do that. There is a food stand and a cafeteria (pricey but an option to hydrate) Also water fountains and bathrooms out side the observatory.

Playground is gated in and separate gate for swings so no little ones get kicked! No bathroom though.
