Review:
With some of the darkest skies between Boston and New York City, Charlestown is a perfect spot for the Frosty Drew Nature Center and Observatory. Along with a nature center that gets kids actively involved in learning about the forests and local outdoor life, the observatory is the spot to learn more about the universe and the surrounding galaxies. The observatory is open year-round, with hours shifting with the seasons. While at the observatory, you may get the chance to view the Sky Theater, which projects the things that the observatory can see, but the naked eye cannot. This is commonly used when there is poor weather for viewing at the observatory.
