AstroLab

Eastern Townships


AstroLab is an astronomy research center on the east side of Parc National du Mont-Mégantic that explains space through interactive exhibits and a multimedia show. A highlight is a tour of the observatory at the summit. Daytime visits include an explanation of the telescope, but only Astronomy Evenings let you peer through the lens, weather permitting. Phone reservations are required. Opening hours vary greatly depending on the date, so check ahead online.
