rooftop stargazing

Join us on the Skydeck at the UWM Physics building for free public stargazing. Gaze through telescopes at the night sky and view the Moon, planets, star clusters, and other astronomical objects! This event is open to the public.

The Skydeck is located on the 5th floor of the Physics building. Follow the pink signs to take the elevator at the east end of the Physics building to the 3rd floor and continue left to the staircase that leads to the roof. Unfortunately, the Skydeck is not wheelchair accessible.

In the event of inclement weather (cloudy skies, temperature below 0° F), we will cancel this event. Check our website the day of the event before you visit. For questions, please email planetarium@uwm.edu.

This event is free and open to the public. Not recommended for children under 4.
