10 Best Things To Do In Flagstaff At Night

1. Lowell Observatory

For an after dark, family fun activity, check out the Lowell Observatory. Since 1894, the Lowell Observatory has been the location of many discoveries, including first detecting the universe’s expanding nature, moon mapping for the Apollo program, the rings of Uranus, and of course, the discovery of Pluto. At the museum, you can not only learn more about space exploration and the Pluto Discovery Telescope during the day but at night, an outdoor program outlining constellations is hosted, perfect for understanding the mythology of the sky. For a closer look, you can view the night sky through the observatory telescopes, including the historic Clark Refractor Telescope.

3. The Museum Club

Old yet fully alive, The Museum Club is a national and state historic landmark that continues to bring the party, despite being built almost 90 years ago.

During your visit, you will find two full bars, 12 booths, table seating, an outdoor patio, and a full menu of casual foods.
