NJIT Big Bear Solar Observatory

Great place and amazing views, I couldn't stay long in the area but I did enjoy every minute of it. Also a very cold area, so bring plenty of jacket's. Will come back, don't know when... But I will.

I finally fulfilled one of my childhood dreams by getting up close and personal with a big bear lake solar observatory. My fascination with it in my youth maybe one of the reasons why astronomy has always been one of my favorite hobbies, not to mention my strong interest in science in general,

I wish it had been open, but we enjoyed the private setting where it’s located ! We were able to walk to it and enjoy a coffee with lake views.

I couldn't get in. I just walked around it. The water level is so low you can actually do that. Great views from both the observatory and the lake .

Absolutely beautiful place! Make sure to book a tour so you can really see the magic of this place!!
