Great stargazing in the desert!! - This was so great! The team set up everything so nicely for us. Hot tea and cocoa, comfy chairs to lay back in, several telescopes with amazing views and education on astronomy. They made the drive as easy as possible with great directions and signage, the walk was minimal and easy even in the dark. And we got lucky with great weather. It is definitely cold up there, bring layers.

Unique evening in the desert! - Unique, comfortable, and fun. The crew behind this experience has really thought about everything needed to make an easy, enjoyable night in the desert. Comfortable bean bag loungers, hot coffee/tea/cocoa, blankets and binoculars at every station, engaging storytelling and great equipment. Tip: Drive out early, go to the BBQ restaurant in Pioneertown for dinner or drinks (and a final bathroom break) before the short 5-minute drive over to the meet-up point.

100% should be on everyone's top 5 things to do in Palm Springs - This was truly an amazing experience. We went at the end of April and although they said dress warmly we went a bit light (jeans/hoody) and were it not for the hot drinks (tea/hot chocolate) and blankets provided we would have froze. Definitely bring a warm jacket and maybe even long underwear if you get cold easily. The set up from parking lot to observation area was great. The beanbag style chairs/lounger set up for us were comfy and the blankets and binoculars were great. The staff were extremely, and I do mean extremely knowledgeable, but it was never dry or boring. The experience is just the right length, and I would 1000% recommend it for anyone who either loves space, or just curious about the night sky. Highly recommend!

Beautiful night to see and learn about the stars and planets 💜 - It was an amazing experience and totally worth it. They are super knowledgeable about the night sky and outer space! We even saw the moon rise above the mountains it was beautiful. We got to see constellations, planets, Galaxies and see beautiful stars and up close. I went solo on my birthday it was very special for me. They took a beautiful night photo of me too! I loved it thank you!!! It was so cold at night so it is important to come prepared. They are so sweet they gave us a blanket, hand warmers and hot drinks and chocolate ☺️💜. Thank you for making my birthday special. Also loved how they made visible signs to get there and to leave it was very helpful I very much appreciate it!!! 💜💜💜

Very comfortable - So comfortable. They thought of everything! I loved the bean bag seats and hot tea! Just the right amount of time. Not too much talking but still informative and interesting.

Way beyond our expectations - This was so incredibly well-organized, thoughtfully communicated, and thoroughly thought through - my family and I have honestly not experienced a tour this well done through viator. (And, we’ve done quite a few that we’ve loved!) Matt, and the two other wonderful folks he works with were incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely seemed to love sharing their knowledge with our group. Matt was an incredible story teller as well as teacher - he also shared two relatable analogies about space and planets that helped shape this experience into the cool learning opportunity it was - but I won’t spoil any surprises! Logistically we were comfortably able to lay down on bean-bag type mini-beds that supported our bodies from our heads through to the crook of our knees. If this wasn’t a comfortable position for you, they also provided chairs. We then alternated as a group between Matt expertly explaining a ton of constellations, their mythological background, and looking through the team’s widely powerful telescopes at objects you could never imagine!! Do it now! We want to go again and again!!

The guides were... - The guides were phenomenal - so knowledgeable about the constellations and galaxies. We really enjoyed it. I don’t recommend going on a full moon - too bright. We will have to come back for the full experience some day
