    Need a new guide
    Delane_B, May 2024
    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!!
    Elisa_M, Apr 2024
    very informative and enjoyable! The astronomer, leading the event, was funny and knowledgable. Group size was not too large
    Great experience!
    Stephen_S, Apr 2024

    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!
    denise_p, Apr 2024
    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!!
    Steve_J, Apr 2024
    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
    Alannah_C, Mar 2024
    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
    We had a great experience with Wes they were very Knowledgeable about the solar system we got a great lesson on the stars. I would do it again it was an experience we will never forget
    Cur short due to Clouds
    Fred_C, Mar 2024
    It was a wonderful experience until the show was cancelled due to clouds coming in. 45 minutes rather than 1 hour.
    Space is out there!!!
    kathy_A, Mar 2024
    Dave was very informative and addressed all our questions, since we don’t know much about stars etc.

    Being able to visually see various constellations that I read about in school. It was a memorable experience that we really enjoyed.
    Beautiful Night Skies of Sedona
    Megan_L, Mar 2024
    Very well done from the moment we arrived. The information given while we explored the skies was very helpful and we were amazed at the clarity in the telescopes. Wonderful experience.
