It has three main objectives: astronomical research, training students and raising public interest. Tours are held weekend evenings. Visitors can look through telescopes and look at the stars. Another attraction you may want to take in is the St. George Anitochian Orthodox Church.
It is actually part of a residential housing neighbourhood and so it somewhat blends in. It has some spectacular paintings on the inside especially the dome structure. It is one of the oldest in the world. For an adventure for the whole family especially the teens there is Laser Quest. It is an location in Richmond Hill where you can play high paced games of laser tag with the proper equipment. There is speciality lighting, fog and music.
