Directions to Hyde Observatory
|
Hyde Memorial Observatory is located on the south side of Holmes Lake in Southeast Lincoln Nebraska. From downtown take
Normal Boulevard all the way to South 70th Street, then turn south (right) and continue (past the North Shore Road entrance) to the
South Shore Road entrance to Holmes Park. This is the same entrance used to get to the golf course. Turn west (right) onto the
South Shore Road and continue (past the golf course turnoff) until you see the observatory on your left.
