Better than we expected…knowledgeable and entertaining guide. We loved the Greek Mythology and Native American Folklore that was intertwined into the presentation. It was also quite relaxing to be lying flat on one’s back gazing at the constellations. We would highly recommend this experience for various age groups—couples, families, etc. Remember to check the weather and dress appropriately, especially if it’s chilly. Blankets and hot chocolate was provided. You can buy clothing, hats, sweatshirts at the store on site if interested—I purchased a beanie to cover my bald head and I’m glad I did—it was cold on the viewing platform.

Such a cool experience to see stars in the night sky without light pollution!! It was so fun listening to our guide Oliver’s constellation tales while he pointed out constellations for us in the sky with a laser pointer that made it super easy to follow. We also got to see a comet and saturn’s rings in the telescope he brought along! We were blessed with a new moon and cloudless sky, best way to end our night!!
Response from Host, Oct 2025

This experience was a really great addition to our trip out to the Zion area. The guide we had on 10/18 was so knowledgeable, entertaining and you could tell he is passionate about the tour. We had a lot of fun and left learning some more about constellations! We even got to see Saturn through the telescope. If you have time in your itinerary 10/10 would recommend doing this.
Response from Host, Oct 2025

Guides are great, friendly and very helpful. Laying down and watching the stars and Milky Way was an experience I’ll never forget. It was a nice way to recharge my brain and stop thinking about everything, but to just relax and gaze at the sky.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Thank you for joining us for an evening under the stars Colleen. We are glad you found it so relaxing.
We hope to see you in the Zion area again soon.

Recommend this experience for everyone! My dad can barely walk and was able to do this , thanks to great employees like Mike , and his staff! They brought him up with a golf cart and were very kind at doing so and understanding, once up there the place was amazing! The stars were soo beautiful and he was very knowledgeable about everything so patient with everyone. Hot chocolate was provided with no extra cost and warm blankets Beyond happy about this experience will definitely come back again . And definitely recommend!
