★★★★★Steve NicholsExcellent evening with the staff and volunteers! Amazed by what we saw and by the enthusiasm and knowledge of the folks there. Thanks for an awesome experience.
★★★★★Darcy McGowanThis was a very fun experience. The staff were very knowledgeable and while there was a large group, there were plenty of telescopes so the wait to see some amazing Celestial characters was never very long. So interesting and informative. Well worth staying up late for.
★★★★Nathan LeePlenty of trails through the lava flows. Beautiful view from the Butte.
★★★★★nathan ellisonI would recommend doing this at least once. I'd break the experience down in 3 parts. The initial presentation, taking about stars. - 4 stars. Looking through telescopes. A unique experience. - 5 stars. The end presentation pointing out constellations. - would be 5 stars if the clouds didn't move in. Overall a good experience.
★★★★★Matthew KrunglevichVery cool place that was worth the trip. Expert help answered questions and gave great kid friendly demos of telescopes. Lots of stuff to learn and a great facility for the hands on experience. Full family fun for kids of any age. Dress warm and expect to stay up late.
