Choose Your Journey Into the Cosmos
Deep Sky Eye offers experiences for every kind of visitor — from a spontaneous evening visit to a multi-night stargazing retreat. All experiences take place under some of the darkest skies in North America.
Nocturnal Sky Theatre
A complete stargazing experience. No overnight stay required.
DESCRIPTION
Your evening begins with an immersive presentation on the night sky — the science of light, the scale of the cosmos, and how to find your way among the stars. You'll settle into zero-gravity reclining chairs under the open sky as Tim guides you through constellation lore and whatever celestial events are on display that evening. Watch as the observatory telescope captures a live image of an object in space, then step up for a look through the eyepiece yourself — the views of planets, star clusters, and deep-sky objects are genuinely breathtaking. The night concludes inside the dome, where you'll get a close-up look at the telescope and the heart of the observatory. Before you head out, be sure to stop by our gift shop for something to remember the night by.
