Mt. Lemmon Sky Center Observatory 9800 East Ski Run Road, Mount Lemmon, AZ 85619

"Overall this was a good experience! I want to echo one of the other reviewers who said to make sure you are passionate and have some knowledge about astronomy prior to going. I still had a good time despite my relatively little knowledge on the subject, but we found that some of the more knowledgeable individuals in our group spent a lot of time asking questions which took up a lot of time and slowed the process. As noted it’s quite cold, bring many layers!! The wine chill is sneaky and not moving much in the observatory itself means a very chilly night, we very much appreciated the warm room. All of this is to say we did have a really nice time, but it is a pretty big commitment for sure."

"Great experience and worth every penny. The guys who do this presentation are excellent at what they do. Action oriented and it’s a great learning experience. Bring a backpack with extra cold weather clothing. You’ll be glad you did. Thanks guys!"

"This is a great program with very real, scientific information. If you are looking for a quick peek at stars, this is not for you. It is an investment in time, but for my daughter and I, it was so worth it. We saw Saturn and Jupiter through the largest telescope available to civilians. We saw nebulas and star clusters. We saw the milky way and the Andromeda galaxy, and shooting stars! It was a wonderful experience. Tracie and Jeronimo were amazing tour guides. And although dinner is just sandwiches, they were very good sandwiches and plenty of food for the evening. We plan to come back when we are in the area and bring my husband! So cool! Literally. Bring layers of clothing!"

"We joined their 5-hr education program which gave us wonderful opportunities to view the green flare of sunset, the star clusters, Saturn, Jupiter and the moon through gigantic telescopes. What you see varies day to day depending on the weather. Check out their website. Very nice staff. Tracie and Michael were fantastic guides. They took very good care of us in addition to giving us fabulous explanations of everything. Bring BIG jackets with you!!"

"We had an awesome time! It wasn't too cold but we were prepared for snow weather so we were comfy. :) It felt casual and fun and the dinner was great. Yummy sandwiches."
