I visited that observatory few years ago.
Was in Okanagan for cherries and wine and just noticed a bunch of satellite dishes on Google Maps. Drove to check em out - lo and behold it's an observatory, with public tours, with one starting in 10 minutes. Had no choice but to go in. Interesting place. Quite a few people walking around with coffee mugs in their hand and looking as spaced out as your average developer deciphering a fresh kernel whoops from last night. Needless to say the atmosphere was spot on :)
If you are in a vicinity, it's worth a visit.

I missed out on visiting the ones in Kona while I was there, so it's nice to know there are some accessible ones closer to home (though no cheaper of a flight from Toronto...)
