We did the Twilight Program (which was much better than expected) and the Star Party, and daytime Solar Tour. The Twilight Program was more of a classroom-type educational program, which was good for kids all the way to adults. The Solar Tour consisted mostly of a tour of the telescope facilities, and was a little underwhelming. The star party was great; we had overcast weather come through midway through the evening which caused us to have to go inside and enjoy more classroom-type programs, which were still very enjoyable. All the staff were very helpful and made our visit great.
