Pleasantly surprised!!!

Lovely presentation! Very helpful staff, who got us the last couple of seats! Georgette was an excellent narrator, the children thought it was as much fun as the Columbia Icefields!!!

Thank cliffbecky

Hi Cliff, Becky; & fam; Wow! That's the first time this month someone has told us our little dome & scopes were as good as a glacier! Thanks for coming to enjoy the evening with us Keep looking up! Peter

A fascinating, visually-stunning and mesmerzing tour of the universe with an enthusiastic and inspiring tour guide who paced the science with humor and made it special.

It's dark sky festival time! (i.e. "the superbowl of stargazing in Jasper") and we're over-the-moon you had such a wonderful time at all our events! Good point RE the planetarium duplication - While each planetarium experience is slightly different as it's delivered live and with...More

Solar viewing and planetarium

LOVED the show and guided tour. It was so nice to have Joel narrate instead of a pre recorded program. The kids loved it. Great information!

Thank jenlk2018

Hi Jen; Glad to hear we could brighten your day with a little live planetarium tour and daytime stargazing (with our local star...as the 'guest-star' : ) Peter

Not worth $90

Sales lady gave me the impression that there were tons of telescopes at the canyon, each one with an astronomer. There were only 2 telescopes for over 40 people to share. Got annoyed, especially since it seemed like the tour guide Georgette just fiddled with...More

Great attraction for Jasper tourism!

The dome experience was really entertaining, warm and comfortable in fully reclinable seats! It was pretty cool to see a 4k demo of the night sky with a very informative guide, Georgette. She was friendly, approachable and professional. Would definitely recommend and hope to go...More
