Discover the wonders of the night sky with our award-winning star-gazing tour package! Start your tour in the Planetarium Dome Theatre and explore local First Nations constellations, the Milky Way, and even the edge of the universe!

After leaving the planetarium, head outside for a guided tour of the Rockies' largest, most powerful telescopes. If the sky is clear, you can look through the telescopes and learn about the science behind the Northern Lights, how to photograph Auroras, and even get your hands on meteorites, a Moon rock, and a Mars rock! Enjoy a live, interactive experience with 4K “action replays” of past live views if it's too cloudy. Please dress appropriately for the weather, you may require thermal layers to be comfortable during the winter months.

This 1.5-hour experience is open to all ages, except children under 4 who are not permitted in the Planetarium Dome Theatre. If you don't see the stars due to cloudy skies, you can always return with our two-year “Rain Check” at no additional charge!

Please note, the weather in the Canadian Rockies can be very unpredictable! We do not offer refunds for cloudy weather, as we do offer our cloudy day programme. Our telescope tours do come with a 2 year raincheck, so you come back and attend the telescopes tour again on a clearer day, free of charge. Our cloudy day programme include our two pavilions where you learn all about the science behind the auroras, along with the chance to touch some real Moon and Mars rocks. After this, if it is still to cloudy, we will then show you screen captures of deep space objects that we have got with our very own video telescope!

When booking this tour, please be mindful of the expected time of the sunset in Jasper on the date you wish to attend. Selecting a time after the sunset will help with providing the best chance of seeing night time views.
