Bag policyThe Observatory's official Visit page covers medication and coat-check rules but lists no bag size limit for indoor shows in The Observatory or the Constellation Room. The separate Observatory Festival Grounds publishes a 12 x 6 x 12 inch clear bag limit for its outdoor events only.Seat and entranceAdd your seat · Coat check and lockers cost $10 and are just outside the main entrance, and the box office opens only on show day, about one hour before doors. The accessibility page says the main room is entered at the front door by an accessible ramp, while the Constellation Room uses the front entrance. Fast Lane guests may use the patio one hour before doors, but that does not let them into the main room early.ParkingChoose where to park DiningChoose a pre-event meal Checklist0%0 of 5 complete MerchNo purchases planned

Times are estimates — arrival steps use walking or driving estimates from straight-line distances, and end times shift with encores, pacing, and overtime. Pad in a buffer for security lines, traffic, and will-call, and double-check restaurant hours before you go.
