The observatory is a contributory organization of the Zlín Region. We are engaged in educational, popularization, professional and observation activities.

We operate an observatory, which has a telescope with a diameter of 500 mm and a spectroheliscope with image transmission to a monitor. The observatory has a receiving station for geostationary and polar meteorological satellites. We receive images from Meteosat geostationary satellites and NOAA polar satellites.

The Vsetín Observatory organizes tours, observations and popular events for the public focused on astronomy, cosmonautics and other natural sciences. Visitor attractions include an observation dome with a large telescope, a unique model of the Solar System, an interactive sundial and the Czech Meteorological Institute's weather station.
