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! 

*Subject to cancellation due to weather.
