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.

Geminids Meteor Shower can produce 100+ meteors per hour with the peak occurring at midnight
The Dark Ranger Observatory is the best place to see a meteor shower. Because our telescopes aren't sequestered in domes, but instead concreted to the Earth in the open, you can scan the entire sky for meteors while you briefly wait for a view in the eyepiece of each of our many telescopes.
If you splurge and rent a zero gravity chair ($10 add-on) you'll want to take a break from the telescopes as the predicted peak rate of meteors approaches (11pm on Dec. 13, 9pm on Dec. 14), so that you can lay back and count meteors and marvel at the Milky Way.
All good things come to those who dress warmly... while waiting to see the next meteor.

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.
