About this activity

Discover a new way to explore Sedona's night sky with Chris the "Night Owl" and his team of astronomers! See dust lanes in distant galaxies, the pinkish glow of hydrogen clouds in stellar nurseries, colorful remnants of dead stars, and much more. Our cutting-edge electronic telescopes capture detailed images that normal telescopes can't show you and display them on a big 4K screen. Every object has a story, be it a tiny moon or the largest of galaxies. Your knowledgeable astronomer will share the history, science and humor behind each celestial object. Our tour is kid-friendly and perfect for families, couples looking for a romantic starlit evening, or anyone who is curious about the universe around us.
