Amazing place. Do visit if you have kids. It's free. Apply online via the Aries website to get observatory tour a week before going.

They have educative films on space and in the evening after 7p.m. they have telescope viewing, where on a clear night you can see Venus, Mars and moon and other stars via their 14 inch telescope! It's a once in a lifetime opportunity for general public.

Their staff and PHD researchers are very enthusiastic in answering any queries and questions kids or adults have about space/stars/galaxies etc. It was a delight to meet and interact with real life Astronomers and Astro physicists.

It's a working observatory and institution. Saturday and Sunday are holidays.
2.30, 3.30 and 4.30 p.m. film shows are there and somedays at 7p.m. telescope viewing is there. It's about 5 kms from nainital town center.
