Visiting PARI
Join us on the second Friday of each month for an Evening at PARI. The evening includes a tour of PARI, a talk about recent events in astronomy, and if the weather is clear, we also plan to setup optical telescopes to view the planets, Moon, and other celestial objects.

PARI is pleased to offer public tours of our facility on most Wednesday afternoons at 2 PM. Reservations are necessary and can be made by calling 828-862-5554. The tours last about 1.5 hours. There is a nominal fee of $5.00 per person with no charge for children under 10. Driving time to the site from downtown Brevard is about 25 minutes. Maps and directions can be found here. We think you will find the tours both educational and entertaining. The visit features a guided tour of our PARI's Galaxy Walk.
If you wish to volunteer , the periodic Volunteer Weekends are a perfect way to see the site and contribute to astronomy, science, and technology efforts at PARI. Please contact Christi Whitworth, via email at cwhitworth@pari.edu, for details on how to join the Volunteer List. In order to plan our tasks more efficiently, we must insist that you email or phone no later than 24 hours before a Volunteer Weekend to let us know if you will be able to attend and help.
