Central Park—Belvedere Castle : Henry Luce Nature Observatory
Mid-Park at 79th Street
United States

Belvedere Castle has true windows and doors and is home to the Henry Luce Nature Observatory.

Inside the Henry Luce Nature Observatory are simple displays that show how naturalists observe the world to learn how it works, and how they share their findings. There are telescopes and microscopes and skeletons and feathers - all designed to pique the curiosity of young visitors. Year round programs offer an opportunity to learn how to observe, record and identify the many micro-organisms, insects, birds and other forms of wildlife living in Central Park's ponds and woodlands.
