We went to a Star Party. These sell out WEEKS in advance. If you don't have this ticket there is nothing to do! PLAN YOUR VISIT!! YOU CANNOT JUST DRIVE THERE AND WING IT. Fantastic experience for the kids and me. Would not recommend for kids under 8 as you would have to lift them up to see through the telescopes and they do not want you to touch the scopes at all. This was my second time, but only the first time to look through telescopes. CHECK THE WEATHER before you go! Telescopes can not see through clouds. This time the moon was full so the star viewing was less than 1/4 of what you can normally see. The facility has several telescopes set up outside so we got to see Jupiter, several clusters, and the moon of course. The displays inside the building were very informative. The boys loved the gift shop, there was something for everybody but the big hit was the Astronaut food. Extremely informative and friendly staff. Would definitely do again!
