With an elevation of about 1160m, not just with the numerous telescopes, there is also a visitors' gallery and exhibition area open to the public which also incorporates a café and souvenir shop. During NSW school holidays, guided tours of the site are offered. Groups of over 15 adults may apply for Behind the Scenes walking or bus tours. An Open Day is held annually in October, offering talks about astronomy and tours inside many of the telescope domes which are open to the public on this one day of the year. These tours include the AAT 3.9M, UK Schmidt, iTelescope.Net, 2.3M ANU and the LCGTN 2M telescope facilities. Siding Spring also has multiple telescopes ranging in size from 0.45m to about 4m, all which has to show something unique.

Has some spectacular views of the volcanic landscape, although from a different perspective.
Another lookout viewing a different rock.
Gives you some views of the Warrumbungles spires and domes.
From this lookout, you'll see the remains of the once Warrumbungle volcano. It does take a trek to come here, but it's worth the view.
