Absolutely phenomenal! We had a perfectly clear night and were mesmerized by the sky. The guides were knowledgeable, helpful, and fun. We were there in June, off-peak, and it was cold! They have heavy parkas that were warm but you need to be prepared at that time of year. The guides also have the coolest laser pointer I've ever seen. Highly recommended.
Had a great time with the star gazing tour, warm outer layers are provided. Guides were very knowledgeable and learnt so much more about constellations and astrology! Was cool looking into a powerful telescope too
Our guide Jack is amazing and incredibly knowledgeable. I attended both the planetarium and the outdoor tour and enjoyed both of them. Jack is engaging, helpful, funny and just so passionate about astronomy!! He went above and beyond to show us stars and planets even though there were lots of cloud cover. And being in the middle of the majestic mountains at night is an unreal experience. Highly recommend!!
Loved this! It was a cold night -8 but they provide coats and blankets to keep you warm, as well as a delicious hot chocolate! The guides were very informative and clearly had lots of knowledge that they were happy to share. Being able to see some of the stars through the big telescopes was great. Got there via a 10 minute bus ride from the Hermitage, nice and easy!
Really cool experience especially if you are not used to seeing the night sky so vibrant and unpolluted by light. Got to look through the telescope to see different constellations and even saw Saturns rings. Pictures don’t really do it justice but it was a clear and beautiful night. Buy tickets in advance because it fills up regularly.
