The reason this area is called Observatory is because the headquarters of the National Centre for Optical and Infrared Astronomy are based in this suburb. Every second and fourth Saturday of the month

Observatory's name sake and the oldest Observatory in the country. Open days once a month.

The original Royal Observatory buildings now serve as the headquarters of the South African Astronomical Observatory, with an on-site museum exhibiting various historic instruments and telescopes.
