Is the property Accessible?
We want as many guests as possible to enjoy their visit to Deep Sky Eye. Here are a few important accessibility details to help you plan:
Observatory: A wheelchair ramp provides access to the main level of the observatory. Please note that the telescope inside the observatory is reached by stairs. This telescope is used for imaging only, so guests can still enjoy the experience without needing to access it directly.
Grounds: The outdoor grounds are covered with gravel, which may be uneven for some wheelchairs and mobility devices.
Telescopes: Our largest outdoor telescope, the Phoenix, requires a ladder to reach the eyepiece. Other telescopes are set up on concrete pads and are generally more accessible.
Sky Bubble: Our Sky Bubble is small-wheelchair accessible.
Sky Cabin: Partially wheelchair accessible. Shower is not wheelchair accessible.
Outdoor Shared Washroom: A wheelchair-accessible bathroom & shower is available on site for overnight guests.
Observatory Washroom: Not wheelchair accessible. However guests are free to use the outdoor shared washroom on the property if needed.
