View more details on driving directions and parking information here. Admission is free. Group Information We recommend that groups of people use a small shuttle bus for transport up to Mt. Large buses are not recommended on Mt Hamilton Road or San Antonio Valley Road, as it is very difficult to navigate some of the tight turns.
If you're planning to visit in a group, please notify us in advance so we can better assist with your visit. E-mail giftshop ucolick. Visitor Activities Make your trip to Lick Observatory a memorable one with our recommendations. Guests are permitted to visit Lick Observatory at night by purchasing a ticket to the Summer Series from June through September. Please do not visit the observatory at night without a ticket to one of our evening programs.
Lick Observatory is an active research facilitiy, and at night all of the buildings are locked and astronomers are working at the darkened telescopes. Telescopes require the darkest possible conditions to detect the faint light from celestial objects. The success of our work relies upon minimizing lights around the observatory at night.
Thank you. The observatory is more than 20 miles from downtown San Jose along Mt. Hamilton Road at an elevation of 4, feet. The road follows a gradual grade laid out over a century ago for horses and carts. It has many sharp curves and is quite narrow in places. At 4, feet, weather on Mt. Hamilton may be cool and changable, so bring a sweater or coat. We do have wheelchair access to the main building from the back.
We are tentatively looking at dates in August and September If you would like more details nearer the time for our proposed in-person events at Lick Observatory this summer, sign up for our Mailing List , or send us an email us at social ucolick.
