Established in 1894, Lowell Observatory is a leading astronomical and planetary science research institution, National Historical Landmark, and one of the most popular nighttime destinations in Arizona. Our astronomers and planetary scientists work to reveal our universe with advanced instruments, such as the 4.3-meter Lowell Discovery Telescope, the 5th-largest optical telescope in the continental US. State-of-the-art public telescopes provide incredible views of the cosmos, and our historical telescopes offer a look into our history of scientific progress. Admission includes constellation tours, exhibits, and access to our Giovale Open Deck Observatory. See why we are recognized as the world’s first International Dark Sky destination.

How many hours would you say an average visit would be? I’m interested in the guided tours in addition to evening activities. Just sounds like a long day!
答:
3 to 4 hours is plenty of time to see most. Many people go at night to view the stars & planets.
Hi, me and a friend of mine will be traveling from page, AZ to flagstaff on Saturday night as we're planning to to the Grand Canyon Sunday morning. What can we do in flagstaff in one night?

Thanks for your question. There are paved walkways connecting most or all of the buildings. I don't remember if any of the buildings themselves can only be accessed by steps. You might call and ask. The lectures themselves seem to be given IN the buildings so you'd want to check building access. The museum/gift shop is easily accessible via paved surfaces from the parking lot and there were no steps in the museum/gift shop that I recall.
