The Kitt Peak Experience… Like no other
Public Programs
In addition to the highly successful Nightly Observing Program (NOP) and Advanced Observing Program (AOP), the Kitt Peak Visitor Center is offering several classes. These will take place periodically throughout the year. Our programs tend to fill up fast especially the ones centered around celestial events. We would urge you not to wait if you see a program that you are interested in. Our current offerings (click for more information):
