Chabot Space & Science Center is the continuation and expansion of a public observatory that has served San Francisco Bay Area schools and citizens with astronomy and science education programs for 125 years. Chabot features a world-class planetarium, interactive exhibits, hands-on science activities and the only research-level telescopes regularly available to the public for live viewing in the Western U.S.

Our mission is to inspire and educate students of all ages about our Planet Earth and the Universe. Over 155,000 visitors including 50,000 students are served by Chabot annually, supplementing and often replacing, the science programs taught in the public schools.

The Chabot Space & Science Center Foundation is recognized by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization. Donations to Chabot are tax-deductible to the full extent of the law.
