People of Earth!
We come
in peace...
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. To that end, we offer enthralling and authentic 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:

  • Lots of BIG telescopes = more viewing & less queueing
  • Ultra-dark sky where  Milky Way extends to the horizons
  • Artful  and educational, LIVE space science  shows
  • Constellation tours  for cultural connections  to the sky
  • Large and Small Private Tours
  • Astrophotography lessons & practice (private tours only)
  • Telescope test-drives (private tours only)
  • Unparalleled enthusiasm for sharing astronomy
  • AND  much, much, MORE.
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 actionable content written in complete sentences. Modern websites are scattered with misleading images and throw-away adjectives. That newer and inferior design forces you to call (like a Boomer) to get basic details, thus exposing you to up-selling tactics of a fast-talking "real person" who feigns impatience to trick you into making hasty decisions.

However, if you are a reader, everything is here. So take your time. And pay attention to the headings! Instead of being the typical untrustworthy sensationalism one should ignore, our garish colored headings (aka "headlines" can help even the most lazy skimmer get the essential information about stargazing with us.

Dark Ranger Late Night

1:00-2:30am
Moonless summer nights
$50 per ticket

A later start avoids our Moon, so these special telescope tours offer more meteors and more Milky Way, as well as the best possible views of everything else! 
Late Night tours are shorter than our Public Telescope Tour because your Dark Ranger skips their multimedia show and you spend the whole time at our BIG telescopes (1 per 2-5 attendees). By capping at 15 attendees you'll get EVEN more time viewing and less time queueing. AND when you book late nights, zero-gravity chair rentals are FREE.

R U reading carefully?
Don't book the wrong "day"!  'Cuz the date begins AFTER midnight. Booking a Tuesday means you be attending after Midnight on Monday.
4-ticket minimum rule applies. We will cancel and refund if <4 people have booked that night. Book imaginary friends (refunded when minimum reached) to insure the show is a go!
