Harry Bayley Observatory
Harry Bayley Observatory Review
The Barbados Astronomical Society headquarters since 1963, the observatory has a Celestron 14-inch reflector telescope—the only one in the eastern Caribbean. Visitors can view the moon, stars, planets, and other astronomical objects that may not be visible from North America or Europe. Call ahead to make sure it's open.
