To Share The Wonders of Our Universe! 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. To that end, we offer enthralling stargazing experiences. Research our tour options in the "Book a Tour" drop-down menu above. 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 hopefully make your booking.
BTW... drop-down menus are retro web design from back when websites had actionable content in complete sentence form, instead of just vague and meaningless buzzwords.
