  • [Lincoln] Hyde Observatory:

Open Every Saturday of the year, with exceptions; this includes a numberto call if you are in doubt as to when the exceptions are. My experience is that if public holidays like Christmas or the 4th of July fall on a Saturday, it is good to check. If the weather is bad (short of blizzards and tornadoes) they will usually be open to show their informative programs inside.
