Come experience the starry sky above Northstar® Resort! 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.
Plus, all guests will receive a commemorative flashlight. So bring a child’s curiosity and plenty of questions for an evening of wonder and awe.
Due to the group size please refrain from bringing your own telescopes. We'll have two telescopes, binoculars and a Celestron Sky Scout for participants to use in order to get a great view of the night sky!
