The man overseeing the excursion was quite rude. We left about 10 minutes into it.
I’m sure it would have been lovely with a different person .
Had a great time!!

Disappointed
Keith_N, Apr 2024
Our stargazing tour was canceled due to clouds and we were only here for one day. Very disappointed!
More out there than you realize
Johnny_S, Apr 2024
Good evening.. very knowledgeable guide.. nice scopes.... the conditions were ok for viewing, since we had a half moon. New moon would be 5 star, but not the guides fault. Wear blue jeans, hat, and jacket..
Mediocre experience
Cheryl_F, Apr 2024
It was okay. Over priced for the time spent. Only looked at four stars though telescope. Directions difficult since field not obvious
Great tour
Cicindela_S, Apr 2024
The Stargazing Tour was fantastic! The weather was perfect and we even saw a meteor.
Wes is beyond knowledgeable and he clearly enjoys what he does. The tour was absolutely worthed.
Awesome evening!

This was a great time. Very knowledgeable guides. I would go back for sure. If you Uber out there go to the early show, getting a ride back from the late show is a little limited
A must do!!

Rick and Claudette were awesome hosts!!! Great expalantions of the constellations. Great telescopes and the Baja blankets were a nice touch as the night got cool!!
Excellent, fun night!

Christopher really enjoyed sharing his passion for astronomy in a clear and easy to understand way. He answered my questions thoroughly and with humor and sincere concern I understood his answer. I highly recommend this excursion for anyone.
Silence in the darkness under the night sky

Knowledgeable Guides have many information, amazing stars, but really cold. Really recommend. I would attend again during a different season to see different stars
The guides are true rockstars!
Cynthia_H, Mar 2024
I know this photo doesn't do it justice but the nightly tour made everything we saw come to life. The guides were so informative and friendly, it took me back to my astronomy days in college which was my favorite class. I had a great time and would highly recommend it. ❤️
Great show especially for kids
julie_j, Mar 2024
Using the high-tech telescope, was great to spot things. Nice when our guide used the laser pointer to show planets, stars & constellations. Saw the Starlink caravan of satellites!
Knowledge Guide, lacking stars!
Randal_S, Mar 2024
Knowledgeable guide, but extremely disappointed that we didn’t see the Milky Way! It’s shown in the photos of the advertised tour! We didn’t see much through the telescope as he answered questions for a small group and didn’t share it with the 20 people in the group.
Promo photo very misleading
Edmund_J, Mar 2024
Memorable because it was so disappointing. Promo photo shows a dazzling shot of Milky Way. Where was that shot or photoshopped?
Enjoyed Star Gazing
June_P, Mar 2024

Cur short due to Clouds
