The planetarium was a wonderful evening out in Jasper. It can be done in ANY weather! The staff were very knowledgeable, funny and engaging. We booked onto the dome experience and were throughly impressed. Due to a cancellation the staff gave us a free telescope...More

Hosts were kind enough to give my husband and I a VIP tour when no one else showed up for that time slot. We only had a whirlwind stop in Jasper but visiting the Planetarium was so worth it! Such amazing viewing with great information...More

Noooo problem : ) It was a pleasure to host your guys during a rare quiet period here in September. Our presenters (including your guide Kate) love the occasional time when such circumstances let them offer an unscheduled private tour under the stars in the...More

We prepped our young boys for the visit so they could be rested for the 10pm show. We were excited going in but it truly exceeded all our already high expectations. The love for astronomy shines through every element of their presentation -- it's addictive....More

The planetarium was unique, a blow up version. The staff were great, the setting good, but the program was lacking. I was hoping for more explanation of the stars we could see in the sky, but in my mind too much of the show was...More

Hi Bob; Our staff of accredited guides and astronomy author/journalists are always happy to spend a little extra time on some things. As we happily say several times each tour in the dome, be sure to ask lots of questions and we'll be happy to...More

A MUST DO!!! We were shocked to see that it was a small tent holding about 20 people in a parking lot. HOWEVER the experience was STELLAR. The Guides and Kate were brilliant! They were so knowledgeable and passionate and worked way overtime teaching people....More

Hi Raina! We thought after weeks of white Moons we should flip the switch on the red one : ) Glad you approved! (And thanks for your AWESOME overview of the great time you had) I'll pass this onto Kate, who will be thrilled Clear...More

We were so disappointed in this experience. For more than $100 for an evening out as a couple, we were expecting so much more. First, the "planetarium" is an inflatable dome inside tent. The show, although well presented and by no fault of our guide,...More

Hi Caitlyn; I'm very sorry this was your experience, as our staff prides themselves on offering fun and inspiring adventures every night here in Jasper National Park and Dark Sky Preserve. The night you attended, we offered live full-colour views of nebulas, galaxies, star clusters...More

My six year old daughter and I did the planetarium show along with stargazing on August 22. The show in the dome was wonderful, and if you're a geeky sap like me you might even cry a little. During the stargazing we were unfortunately thwarted...More

Don't kid yourself. This is not a huge operation like you find in Hawaii or places like that. I will admit that when I arrived in the parking lot behind the Marmot Lodge I was skeptical. However, I found the presentation to be great and...More

Ha ha - I think you remembered better what we looked at that night than I even did! SO glad you got to see all that! While we operate every night because most people don't plan their trips around just the stargazing aspect, for those...More

We had a great experience here. Our family of four was the only group booked for the early showing and had a very intimate experience. We have visited plenty of planetariums before but we all liked how this one really focused on Jasper's unique character,...More

Planetarium show was very impressive considering that this is small town. I liked it more than the one i saw in science center in Toronto. Telescope experience was something we did for our son and we did not regret it.More

Nelli! We are honoured by your high praise - Every now and then, we get someone who's been to the planetarium in New York, London, etc.. telling us they liked our interactive Jasper-centric experience better and we feel like it's nice to hear that occasionally...More
