Yerkes Observatory Re-Opens for Tours May 27th!!!
Posted: Wed May 11, 2022 2:42 pm
Hi all,
Yerkes Observatory Tours kick off May 27!
We’ve been restoring our buildings, grooming our grounds, and collecting artifacts in preparation for your visit... It's time to be star-stuck again! Advance tickets required.
Get your tour tickets at www.yerkesobservatory.org; full website coming soon.
Yerkes was closed to the public in October 2018. An agreement was made in November 2019 to transfer the facility from the University of Chicago to the non-profit Yerkes Future Foundation (YFF). COVID slowed down the renovation and re-opening... but it looks like they are about to re-launch!
