Come experience the starry sky above Northstar!  Join star guide and poet Tony Berendsen, the President of the Nevada Science Coalition, for a unique and educational night under the stars.  Every tour is as different as the starry skies above however each will include a poem reading, a fun space quiz with prizes, a laser tour of the stars and constellations and a telescopic viewing.  So bring a child’s curiosity and plenty of questions for an evening of wonder and awe.

August's and September's Star Tours will meet at the top of the Highlands Gondola at 8:15 p.m.  Please allow yourself 10 - 15 minutes to ride the Gondola.  The Highlands Gondola is located directly next to the Northstar Lodge - Hyatt Residence Club across from the Village at Northstar on the upper level. It is not the Big Springs Gondola which accesses mid-mountain for skiing and mountain biking.  From the top of the Highlands Gondola you will take part in a 15-minute guided hike down to the Lodge at Big Springs Deck.  After you’ve experienced the wonder of the sky, the group will load onto a shuttle bus from mid-mountain at 10:30 p.m. and will return back to the Village at Northstar where your journey will end.
