Contact and Directions

The MacAdam Student Observatory is a University of Kentucky building located on top of parking garage structure #2 that is used by faculty and students for research and learning.
Except when the observatory is open to the public, even though the parking gates in parking structure #2 are up, the structure is patrolled by parking officers. On public nights you may drive to the top of the parking structure and leave your vehicle without receiving a parking citation.

Our street address is 301 Hilltop Ave., Lexington, KY 40506.
