Green Bank Observatory

Enter the land of silence at Green Bank Observatory, where cell service disappears and the universe takes center stage. Home to the world’s largest fully steerable radio telescope, this site has been unlocking cosmic secrets since 1957. Start at the Science Center for hands-on exhibits, a short film, and a guided tour that ends with an up-close look at the massive GBT. Afterward, recharge at the Starlight Café with coffee, salads, or burgers.
