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.

Highly recommended!! Luke and Coda are so incredibly knowledgeable, kind and funny! We learned so much and the night sky was pretty extraordinary! Learning about and gazing through the many different telescopes was fascinating. We really enjoyed our experience.

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.

This was a fantastic experience. Luke is knowledgeable, interesting, passionate about his subject, and rightly so! It is incredible to see the stars and planets with someone who really knows their stuff.

This was amazing we seen a twinkling star in the telescope that was simply magnificent! It pales in comparison to seeing Jupiter and Saturn though so clearly! Very knowledgeable guide that helped us understand and simplify everything! No regrets, definitely 10/10 would recommend and will do again when I’m in the area.

Kathryn_H

This stargazing tour was so much fun and educational. Luke is a wealth of celestial knowledge. We could have stayed far after the tour ended to talk and learn more. Definitely a must-do when in the Denver area.

Luke was an amazing night sky tour guide! He's extremely knowledgeable & passionate. I liked having 4 spread out 🔭 & 1 pair of binoculars for the 17 or so people there. He reframed a couple of hours through the sky. Really neat!

Its was a very nice night . Although it was a bit cloudy but we were able to see some of the stars and Lady tour guide answers all are nerdy questions.
