Mount Wilson Observatory | Exploring Southern California

Maybe you've visited or heard about Griffith Observatory before, but did you know that there is another historical astronomical observatory in the Los Angeles area?
In this video we take a trip up to Mount Wilson to explore the Mount Wilson Observatory. This observatory was founded in 1904 and is a site of scientific history!
I recommend visiting on a day where you can take an in depth tour of the observatory. But if you're not into learning about astronomy, this area is also a great choice for a scenic day trip, lunch at the Cosmic Cafe, or some hiking!

Hey can I get the address for this spot I went there but it seems it lead me to a court house in Pasadena and I typed in mt Wilson

Hi! Sorry I didn't see your comment right away. I just put Mount Wilson Observatory into Google Maps and it doesn't give an exact address but the pin is in the right spot. You could also try putting 'Cosmic Cafe Mt Wilson' or 'Mt Wilson Skyline Park Picnic Site' into the search and it should lead you there.
