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.
