Learning Opportunities

Located high in the Davis Mountains of West Texas, just northwest of the charming town of Fort Davis, McDonald Observatory offers a unique setting for teacher workshops, classroom field trips, and other educational activities held throughout the year. For the 2021-2022 school year, Virtual Visits have resumed and on-site Astronomy Field Trips resume in February 2022.
