Contact and Directions
Join us at one of Chattanooga's premier free attractions.
The Observatory is located 4.5 miles east of campus at 10 Tuxedo Avenue, north of Brainerd Road and Belvoir Ave.
If you have trouble with the steep steps up the front (west) entrance, feel free to park in the parking lot behind Brainerd United Methodist Church, walk up the trail by the cemetery and use the east entrance.
We are open on most Sunday evenings for public Star Parties during the UTC school year. Follow us on Facebook and Instagram for more current information.
