  This tour is fascinating in how it explains the complexity of the many problems which needed to be solved, and the creativity of how they did them. Any stage of the manufacturing process you see will amaze you.

  Maybe the information just wasn’t presented very well. I felt like the ticket was overpriced. My husband enjoyed it though.

  Visit the Mirror Lab today if possible...the lab is the only place on planet Earth that you can witness the construction of the HUGE mirrors for the Giant Magellan Telescope that will be on top of a mountain in Chile giving Earthlings a view into our Universe seeing twice as far as the orbiting Hubble Telescope.

  Powerpoint presentation was very interesting and the docent was able to answer all questions from an audience that was not technically minded. Informative tour with a close look at the manufacturing processes involved in the creation of the telescope mirrors. Would recommend to anyone with the vaguest of curiosities as to how these mirrors are constructed.
