Tour Costs and Policies

Costs

Tickets for the events are $20 per adult and $10 per child under 13 years of age and $15 for students and seniors. Friends of PARI and their families may attend free of charge but must book seats to do so. Larger group tours may be booked separately by calling PARI at (828) 862-5554.

Only those who have booked a seat for the Evening at PARI on a given night are assured a seat. Members of the public who show up without a booking cannot be assured a seat. Those who show up without a reservation may be accomodated, on a first-come-first-served basis using a wait list. Those who book seats and do not attend will be billed through the mail. Guests are asked to show up at least ten minutes before the event.

Weather

PARI cannot guarantee an optical observing component of the tours and refunds will not be issued in case of poor weather that prevents optical observing. Observing in poor conditions will result in damage or destruction of PARI telescopes.

Children

All children must be accompanied at all times by an adult or guardian, who is responsible for that child.

Children under the age of 5 may not attend the Evenings at PARI.

Courtesy

Members of the public will be expected to be polite and courteous to each other and to PARI staff. This is essential if everyone is to have a enjoyable and educational evening. We ask for everyone's cooperation in this.

Safety

PARI is a professional research lab, and the public should not wander around the facility without a staff member accompanying them. Guests will be expected to stay away from cordoned off areas, and respect the instruction of PARI staff about areas where they may not go. Anyone refusing to do so will be asked to leave the property immediately. Areas that the public may visit will be clearly marked.
