East Zion Dark Sky Stargazing Tour
Description
See the Utah Milky Way for the first time. Our knowledgeable guides will help you learn about constellations as you gaze at the crystal-clear night sky. After being taught you also have the opportunity to see the stars through our powerful telescope. Many groups get to witness a shooting star as a bonus! Note: this tour requires a short 5-10 minute walk up a soft dirt path, with slight incline. If unable to complete this walk, please contact us ahead of time so we can plan to transport you to the top. In fall and winter months, be prepared for cold weather! Make sure you bring hats, gloves, coats, etc. to keep you warm while you enjoy the tour.

SOOOO recommend stargazing Hon explained perfectly gave so much detail and interaction with us was amazing shared laughs, jokes, and zodiac signs ! Had so much fun worth every penny Came down from Vegas and enjoyed watching the stars Thank you Hon and his brother so much fun !!
This was FANTASTIC and well worth the money... it was interactive and educational and I would recommend it for all ages.... our guide was great and showed and explained everything.. we loved this experience...
My boyfriend and I originally booked the stargazing tour, but he privately called and made it a private stargazing tour so that he could propose under the stars! Oliver (tour guide) and Steve (photographer) were the absolute best! They played along and helped my ,now fiance, plan the best night ever. I cannot say enough good things about Oliver. Even though it was cloudy, he did his best to ensure we had a night.
The tour guides were great, for blankets and chairs (needed as it is a cement slab you are on), received hot chocolate or cider packets with warm water. The walk up to the area was a little longer than expected for some of our family but overall good experience
Thank you for sharing your experience! We're so glad you enjoyed our Dark Sky Stargazing Adventure. We also appreciate your feedback about the walk to the viewing area. Comments like yours help future guests know what to expect and help us continue improving the experience for everyone. We hope to welcome you and your family back for another unforgettable adventure the next time you're in the area!
Do this. Don’t hesitate. What a perfectly curated experience. Tucked in under the stars, you see it all. And the shooting stars are everywhere. Our guide was the best part. He gave us a tour of the night sky. He had storytelling and history and science packaged into a performance. My only complaint is I wish it was longer. I could have stayed for two hours listening to him and staring at the night sky.
Thank you for joining us for a evening under the stars. We appreciate your review and your kind words. Please join us again one day soon!
We always enjoy star gazing experiences. They have a great spot to do star gazing in a very dark area of their property. However, if the moon is out you are very limited in what you can see. I would consider coming back here just to see the sky on a moonless night.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the dark sky location and appreciate your comments about the moon's impact on stargazing. You're absolutely right that the moon phase plays a significant role in what can be seen in the night sky. We strive to make each tour educational and enjoyable regardless of conditions and encourage guests seeking the darkest possible skies to visit during a new moon phase. We appreciate your visit and hope that you will join us again one day. Warmest regards, Julie
Loved the tour! The tour guide was very entertaining and knowledgeable, would definitely recommend to any star lover!
Thank you for the review Joseph. We appreciate your kind words and hope to see you in the Zion area again soon.
Great experience, beautiful stars in the sky, memorable. The only down side was the distance from Springdale, 40 minutes of dark curvy road.
Thank you for joining us for an evening under the stars. We appreciate you taking the long drive to join us. We hope to see you back in the Zion area again soon.
This was a beautiful trip. Our tour guide was super nerdy about the stars and it made the trip so much better. The hike up was awesome and they had a UTV for my older mother.
Thank you for joining us for a evening under the stars. We hope to see you in the Zion area again soon.
Fantastic experience and the tour guide provided us with great knowledge about various visible constellations and star system.
Thank you for joining us for an evening under the stars. We hope to see you back in the Zion area again soon.
