Fantastic experience - We attended on a cold, clear night in late November. It was great! The time looking through the scopes was interesting and the time laying down, looking at the stars was amazing. I learned a lot, saw the Milky Way and many constellations and other things. Highly recommend!

Unforgettable Stargazing Experience in Joshua Tree - The day before our tour, we thought it would be canceled due to rain and heavy clouds—we were so disappointed. The team asked us to wait until 2:00 PM for a final decision, and right on time they called to let us know the tour was still happening, just starting a little later. So grateful they stayed flexible and kept us updated! We arrived at 6:00 PM, and the directions made it super easy to get to what felt like the middle of nowhere—exactly the kind of secluded spot you want for stargazing. The staff was amazing from the start. Matt opened with a fun and engaging introduction to the solar system, using relatable examples that made everything easy to understand. Afterward, he guided us through a fascinating tour of the night sky. Once we moved to the telescopes, the experience became truly incredible. We saw so many celestial objects up close—it felt magical. Even though the weather was cold (luckily it didn’t rain!), the team went above and beyond by providing blankets, chocolates, and hand warmers. Small touches that made a huge difference. This is a fantastic team dedicated to making the most out of your experience. Absolutely one of the best tours we’ve ever taken. Highly recommend!

Magnificent experience! - What an incredible experience! The team were super knowledgeable and had all the gear. It was chilly but they did a great job with blankets, hot chocolate and even hand warmers ! We saw nebulas, galaxies, the rings of Saturn and they had a cool laser to point out the zodiac constellations. Highly recommend! Thanks 🙏

After Dark Magic in the Desert - This tour is perfection. It is the perfect mix of entertainment, education, and awe. Our guide, Devon, was an absolute gem. She kept everyone of all ages engaged, weaving humor and facts into her storytelling, taking us all deep into a magical journey in space. We snuggled under our blankets on bean bag chairs, sipped hot chocolate, and left wanting more stories. As someone who had never seen professional telescopes, I am still dreaming of the extraordinary magic I saw.

Great experience! - Fantastic! Very knowledgeable guide who gave a lot of information about planets and stars in easy to understand way. The bean bag loungers were great. Was cold but we had wool blankets. They had over half dozen telescopes pointed at various stars and nebulae.. amazing! Drive there while still dusk.. makes it easier.. signs were good. Never seen so many stars in my life!!
