Astro Experience
This is our most popular experience. Come to our beautiful lakefront site and share the stargazing journey with a small group of 10 guests. During the 90-minute guided tour there will be time for: naked-eye stargazing and listening to stories from all around the world, watching through premium telescopes, asking questions about the stars and the Universe, warming up with a cup of hot chocolate, posing for your photo.
The evening you want is fully booked already, but you’re motivated for a late-night session? Top tip: tours starting at midnight or later can be found under the next day. For example, midnight start is 12:00 AM of the next day, 1 o’clock after midnight is 1:00 AM of the next day!
Bringing children with you? Awesome, children (6 to 16 years old) can join at a discounted rate! Use Coupon Code 1KID, 2KIDS, 3KIDS or 4KIDS if you bring 1, 2, 3 or 4 children, respectively. For example, if you’re a family of 2 adults and 3 children (6 to 16 years old), select 5 as the total number of participants, and use Coupon Code “3KIDS” to apply the discount at checkout. Minimum age of participants is 6 years.
