What lot type should I set observatory as?

I want my Sim to become an astronaut, so I saved the Observatory from Oasis Landing in Into the Future in my community lots bin, and now I just need to know what to set the Observatory as so it will work correctly. Its lot type is "Science Laboratory" in my bin, but the lot type resets when I place a lot, so I need to choose a different lot type. The Science Lab is not an available option. Would it still work ok if I set it as "No Visitors Allowed?"
  • The usual choices for rabbithole community lot types are Visitors Allowed and No Visitors Allowed. The lot picks up its character from the rabbithole in these cases, not the lot type. The difference between the two depends on whether you want sims to be drawn to the lot or hang around after work or seeing a planetarium show, taking a tour, etc. when they have no "official" business being there.

    The other community lot types are for open venues like parks, gyms, libraries, bars, bowling alleys, and java huts.

    @kwohld Yes it is, and you don't have to travel to Oasis Landing and save the Observatory there to your community lots bin, because it's already in the Community Buildings bin. Look below for proof:
