Chabot Space & Science Center

Chabot Space & Science Center is a non-profit institution and community resource located on 13 trail-laced acres in Redwood Regional Park in Oakland amid the largest stand of coastal redwoods in the East Bay. Chabot features a 241-seat full dome planetarium, interactive and hands-on exhibits, space artifacts, a giant screen theater, a Challenger Learning Center, and the only research-level telescopes regularly available to the public for weekly live viewing in the Western United States.

Chabot seeks to inspire visitors of all ages about the wonders of science, space and our planet Earth through a wide range of hands-on indoors and outdoors exhibits, a tinkering space, community-based S.T.E.A.M. events, workshops, lectures, displays, planetarium shows, school programs, and three historic, research-level telescopes.
