"Went to the Observatory and Dunes, the the Observatory showed no open dates nor times, and was closed. The dunes were cool though...tad sandy..."
"Love this place love the cabins & observatory view is beautiful & a great work out walking up the sand dunes rental board are available"
"The reason the tickets were free was because Saturday at Bruneau it was cloudy, At 11pm maybe 11:30 it cleared a tad bit to see a cluster galaxy. It was 10 or so degrees cooler in Bruneau because of the storm, well worth the trip. Been 7 or 8 times before, things were different new parking lot, landscaping was beautiful. The sky at night is so beautiful with no light pollution, so glad we came. Still saw the movie presentation by Doug. THANKS"
"Beautiful park, quiet and peaceful. We went for an overnight adventure for daughters birthday. Started at Miracle Hot Springs then lunch in Buhl and then to the park. We rented a cabin and it is meant for sleeping and nothing else... It has electricity and an ac/heater, single bed, queen and a futon. That's it. No cooking. There is a private fire pit and front porch with a swing that has an clear view of the park, you don't have to peek over tents or RV's. Lots of RV spots with water and 50amp service and there's a dump station on the way out. There is a combination of vaulted toilets and a bathroom with flushies and free showers. We went for the observatory and we were able to see some of the stars and an up close view of the full moon. They have presentations and telescopes to view but the big 25" telescope is the largest public accessible telescope around, you get to look through it and see stars you will not see anywhere else. We will be going back during the new moon to get a better view of the stars. Really nice park, family friendly and beautiful."
