The Flagstaff Stargazing Experience

Service Description

Immerse yourself in a truly unforgettable stargazing adventure, perfect for anyone looking to explore the wonders of the night sky. The Flagstaff Stargazing Experience offers a comprehensive introduction to astronomy and constellation mythology by combining the beauty of the cosmos with state-of-the-art telescopes and personalized attention under one of the darkest skies in the country. With our laser-guided constellation tour, you'll discover the stories and science behind the stars, while a high-grade, computerized telescope allows you to observe celestial objects like galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters in stunning detail. We offer this unique stargazing experience year-round. In the colder months, we provide blankets, and hot drinks (tea and hot chocolate) to keep you cozy throughout the evening. In the event of snow in Flagstaff, we may relocate the experience to an alternative site at a lower elevation to ensure a clear, accessible viewing area. What to Expect: Meet at our viewing location: Easily accessible and perfectly situated to offer dark skies for optimal stargazing. Laser-guided constellation tour: Learn the mythology and science behind visible constellations as we point them out in the night sky. Comfort amenities: Chairs, hot drinks, and blankets will be provided to keep you warm and comfortable.

Astroportraits of your group: Option to purchase photos beneath the stars, creating a beautiful keepsake to remember the experience ($10 discount if purchased during booking) This tour is meant to be an easier-to-access experience that is within Flagstaff City Limits, so you can easily take an Uber or Lyft to our viewing location.
