Using high-powered laser pointers, we will provide you an entertaining and scholastic experience, with stories about ancient civilizations, Greek mythology, and the evolution of the Cosmos. Our telescopes are operated with a keypad and are as easy to use as sending a text. Telescopes are pre-programmed with our object list for the night. Pressing one button on the keypad moves the telescope to the next object. We regularly view the following types and classes of objects: Galaxies, Nebulae, Star Clusters, Double and Binary Stars, Planets, Earth’s Moon, Globular Clusters, Comets, and more.

5Clear night to view the skies
This was fantastic! We had a knowledgeable astronomer who provided a ton of information about plants, galaxies, constellations, nebulas and more. The beanbag mattresses were comfortable for gazing with the naked eye and with binoculars that they supplied. The various telescopes provided even more amazing views. The cherry on top was the photos provided within 48 hours. Late night. Worth every minute.
5If there’s one thing you do…..
Do this. We absolutely loved it. Special beanbags for sitting and watching. Super qualified commentary and the telescopes were amazing. I spent the same amount for Larry Ellison four seasons observatory and this tour was 100x better. My whole family loved this. The pictures and sites were so good it was hard to believe it was even real.
5Must do stargazing experience
Excellent experience. Knowledgeable guide. Excellent views with naked eye, binoculars, and advanced telescopes. Highly recommend! Fun, informative, unique, and memorable.
5Amazing stargazing as a family
Incredible experience. We joined as a family with kids aged 7 and 9 years old. The experience was split into three sections where we learned about the planets, the constellations using binoculars, and then got to look at various stars, galaxies and planets through the telescopes. We saw so many amazing things and the tour guide and photographer were so knowledgeable and happy to answer questions. It was a fantastic experience and we would recommend it 100%.
5Such an informative and...
Such an informative and fun experience. Out of this world. Hosts guided through a well thought out presentation.
5Great Experience
Good experience for our grandchildren and our guide Matt(?) was great interacting with them. The views through the telescopes were amazing and the cushions for stargazing were phenomenal.
