After leaving the planetarium, head outside for a guided tour of the Rockies' largest, most powerful telescopes. If the sky is clear, you can look through the telescopes and learn about the science behind the Northern Lights, how to photograph Auroras, and even get your hands on meteorites, a Moon rock, and a Mars rock! Enjoy a live, interactive experience with 4K “instant replays” of past live views if it's too cloudy.
This 1.5-hour experience is open to all ages, except children under 4 who are not permitted in the Planetarium Dome Theatre. If you don't see the stars due to cloudy skies, you can always return with our two-year "Rain Check" at no additional charge! Don't miss out on this incredible opportunity to explore the night sky!

It was nice to learn about the planet. The guides were students learning about the planet. They are friendly and knowledgeable.

Tour okay. We did see the Northern lights on the tour but had a better view from our lodge which was by the lake. We are really sorry to hear about the wildfires and hope the lodges and the town of Jasper are able to rebuild (as it is a fabulous place to visit).

There was a wildfire and evacuation. They would not let us cancel. Jasper was evacuated as raining with smoke. Yet they wouldn’t let us cancel. Nothing to see Terrible

We did this as a date and it was so much fun. We're not really into stars so we didn't know much going in but we learnt a lot. The guides were knowledgeable and friendly and the combo tour was really interactive. We learned how to find certain constellations and stars, saw some up close with the telescopes and heard stories about them. I would definitely recommend this for everyone. There were families with kids in our group and they really enjoyed themselves too.

If it’s cloudy, they give you a two year rain check. Oh and they will show you videos of what the sky looked like on days it was clear. Another way to approach this would be to cancel the event and refund money accepting the fact that the experience they are attempting to provide is risky based on weather. This is obviously not the profitable thing to do but it makes sense and it’s the right thing to do. Honestly, who is going to come back within two years to try again? What if they come back and it’s cloudy again? It just feels like the company does not want to let go of the money once they got it.
