To Share Wonders of The Universe, UNDER ULTRA-DaRK Sky of Bryce Canyon. The Dark Ranger® Mission is to improve scientific literacy, build enthusiasm for humanity becoming a spacefaring civilization, and heighten awareness to the evils of light pollution.

Whether you are booking for a PhD or a preschooler, these are the reasons you should stargaze with the Dark Rangers® :
Use the drop-down menus in the banner images at the top of every page to learn more and make your booking(s).
BTW... drop-down menus are retro web design from when websites were functional tools with informative content written in complete sentence form. Modern websites are on-line ads filled with vague buzzwords, forcing you to call to get details, and so you can be up-sold by a "real person." However, if you're a good reader, everything is here.

See how this is 1 daytime event only? Don't click this --> "book now" if you want nighttime stargazing. Reading carefully is good! Read small orange text over there <--

$50 adults
$30 teens & kids |
Join the Dark Rangers for the astronomical event of the summer, a late-night observance of the Perseid Meteor Shower. August 12 is when Earth passes through the cloud of billions of sand grains left behind from the immense tail comet Swift-Tuttle when it last passed by Earth in 1992. Each year a few thousand piece of these bits of debris are removed from the cloud as they burn up in Earth's Atmosphere.
The show begins after our Moon sets at about 11:45pm. That's when the Milky Way will become visible from horizon to horizon. This is also when Earth has rotated far enough toward the east that the majority of the meteors are coming straight in for maximum brightness. By 2:00am we might see as many as 100 meteors per hour!

Special Events are priced differently. Adults tickets are the same as any public tour, but all ages 0-19 years are same ~1/2 price of adults.
