Reviews
"One of the more unique parks in the BREC system. Attended a summer sky viewing that showcased the stages of dusk to twilight. The rangers were very knowledgeable and handled a group of ~25 with ease allowing everyone to view Venus through a small telescope. That night it was not possible to use the larger telescopes in the domes because of the amount of light in the summer sky during the timeframe of the showing. Will most definitely be back in the winter for the meteor shower and and deep field viewing of the sky. This is a great venue for all ages while being fun and educational. Good family outing."
"Super cool. Volunteers manning the telescopes are very knowledgeable with the locating and explaining. Inside staff could definitely be more polite, but supposedly was one of their busiest nights so I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt."
"Amazing facility with top-notch staff and volunteers. Special thanks to Jacob for all his help last night getting our telescope set up to where we now know how to use it with ease! Don’t miss the opportunity to go to these events!!"
"It was really fun and the people there where helpful. The trails where fun to."
"Really Great Place for families and even small children. I went with my daughter, her fiancee and her 6 yr old twins to see the Super Blood Wolf Moon lunar eclipse last night. They had activists for the children as well as large telescopes set up for viewing. They are very informative about any questions you have. To my surprise there were people out with chairs and even blankets and sleeping bags on the ground to watch this event. I would definitely recommend this place. There was ample free parking and fresh hot free coffee. I did purchase a map of the moon for $7.95 and also a Baton Rouge star guide for $17.95 for the children. I'm so glad we got to go to this event!!!"
