It was a very enjoyable experience. We firmly recommend going! - The views were amazing.
I have never paid so much attention to the sky because of all the light pollution we have at home.
The sky was crystal clear and we could see many planets and constellations very clearly after it got a little darker.
The guide was very knowledgeable and told us many stories about the myths behind the constellations.
They even had snacks that reflected the astrological theme.
We watched the heavens for over two hours.
They were great people and we had a fantastic time.
I highly recommend going.

looking at the stars in SF! - Great experience!! Jason was our "star" guide, he was very nice and helpful, gave us tons of info, and we were able to experience the night sky with all its splendor!!!
They had a state of the art telescope and binoculars for us to use. They even had snacks and water. Ana, his wife, was there to assist and make our experience a better one.
We need more of this in SF.

stars, greek myths, and the moon! - jason was absolutely the best tour guide we could have ever asked for. he was patient, educated on the subject, and genuinely loved talking about space. he taught us so much about the constellations and we all had our own time to ask questions. he knew the stories that accompanied each constellation down to the names of each god and goddess. i think the most important thing is zeus needs to keep it in his pants 🤦. All in all, it was an amazong experience and i highly reccomend anybody with a lick of interest in space to check it out!

Awesome night with the stars - Stargazing with Jason was a great experience. He shared fun and informative facts about the planets and stars. He told interesting stories from Greek and Roman mythology. The groups are kept small to give everyone ample time to look through the telescope. They also shared binoculars with us which allowed us to see hundreds of stars that weren’t visible with the naked eye. It was a wonderful experience and one I would highly recommend to anyone and everyone.

Amazing Visit to the Night Sky - Thanks to Jason for an amazing visit to the night sky. Using both his high powered telescope and the provided binoculars we had the opportunity to see Jupiter, Uranus and an incredible view of the moon, the Pleiades, also known as the Seven Sisters and the constellations of the winter sky. Jason also provided us with the mythology stories behind the constellations which were very interesting. 👍🏻
