Lonely Planet review for David Dunlap Observatory

Just north of the Toronto city limits, the David Dunlap Observatory is a major player in the cut-throat world of international stargazing. On Saturday evenings, the observatory presents introductory talks on modern astronomy (but ‘no math!’), followed by interplanetary voyeurism through Canada’s biggest optical telescope (the reflector measures 1.9m). Nights without a lecture are cheaper; book ahead as there are limited tickets available. Call to check weather conditions. No kids under seven.
