    Coda and Luke are the best! This was an amazing experience and we learned a ton. The night sky with just our naked eye was awesome but gazing through the telescopes and learning about nebulas, galaxies, planets and stars was really incredible. We had a really nice time.

    The staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. I learned a lot about the stars and planets. Our teen age boys had a great time looking through the multiple telescopes that the staff pointed at various stars and planets. I would highly recommend doing this tour.
