NIGHT UNDER THE STARS - All members were very informative and you could tell they had a passion for astrology and the wonders of the universe. We had a bit of a cloudy night but they still managed to catch some stars for us and gave us a rain check for a better night.

Wicked! - Honestly this was such a cool experience! The whole experience was incredibly interesting. The dome was such a great way to visually move through our universe and understand it in its magnitude. Although there was cloud cover and we weren’t able to use the telescope the presentations on the Auroras, meteors, and the telescope photo presentation from Jake and Casey was still worth it. Will be returning to use the telescope!

Eye-opening and informative - A fantastic experience at the Jasper Planetarium tonight - eye-opening and informative - loved the power of storytelling and the knowledge and enthusiasm of the staff, especially Jake. Unfortunately, the clouds didn’t clear for star gazing and dancing auroras, but we still left with a feeling of awe and wonder. Thank you! 🙏

Wow - What a terrific experience. Informative, entertaining and unique. All the team presenting the tour were helpful and obviously love what they do. Almost on cue, the cloudy skies cleared and enabled us to look at the moon, Saturn and twin star systems through the telescopes. Even more on cue, the Northern Lights made an appearance. Amazing. Our 90 minute tour ended up being 2 hours. A fantastic experience

Nice tour for the nerds - Very informative tour about the stars, planets, and the universe. Unfortunately, because of the cloudy conditions, I didn’t see much of the skies nor the Northern Lights. Did a bit of stargazing. Staff were very friendly and kind.

A starry night needed - It was very much aimed at children. We picked a cloudy evening so not much to see. The set up could be smarter. It seemed a bit shabby. The staff are lovely and enthusiastic. A wonderful location if you pick al cold clear night
