This place was pretty incredible. We participated in the solar viewing and daily tour. The program facilitator, Joe, was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions.
We then participated in the Twilight Program to learn about what's in the night sky. Mary was a great program leader and explained different aspects of the solar system in a way that made it easy to understand and fun to learn about.
Afterward, we participated in the Star Party. This was by far the best program. The main program leader (didn't catch his name) was humerous, knowledgeable, and great at what he does. The telescopes were fun to look through, and each person working the telescopes was easy to talk to, didn't judge your questions, and pretty funny. There were only about 130 people in our cried, so we were able to look at each object multiple times and had only short or no lines.
The cafe has a limited, but tasty menu. It was cold outside, so the coffee was a huge plus. There gift shop is well stocked with items for all ages.
