Wyoming Stargazing is a nonprofit organization dedicated to educating and inspiring through Wyoming's extraordinary skies. They offer stargazing, planetarium, solar, and virtual astronomy programs. The proceeds help provide inexpensive programming for public schools, free public programs, and efforts to save the night skies. Their vision is to build an observatory and planetarium in Jackson Hole. The experience is wonderful and a highlight of trips to Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Park. Guides are extremely knowledgeable, nice, accommodating, friendly, and passionate. They excel at making difficult astronomy and cosmology concepts easy to understand for everyone, from adults to a six-year-old. They provide blankets, answer questions, and offer clear explanations with examples in the sky. On a clear night with minimal light pollution, guests can see the vast, dark skies lit up by stars. Viewings include the Milky Way, moon rise, Saturn and its rings, Mars, Arcturus, Vega, binary star systems, and nebulae. The stargazing experience is out of this world and a milestone. It is highly recommended as a unique excursion into the Tetons night sky.
Highly recommend this tour. High quality, intimate experience at a fair price!

This was absolutely the coolest thing I’ve done in quite some time. We went to the public stargazing. Now that we know what to expect I really want to see and learn more. Thank you so so much for doing this.

WONDERFUL. BRING A WARM DRINK & LAYERS. Guide provided blankets and plenty of knowledge. My 17 yr old space junkie loved the deep conversations all while learning these are his words: The stargazing experience was out of this world! We got to see everything from Arcturus, to Mars, to Vega and everything in between.
