Cape Cod Stargazing Experiences
Experience the wonders of the cosmos through a telescope and laser tour!
Have you ever seen the rings of Saturn, the moons of Jupiter or gotten an up close view of the craters on the moon? What about a star cluster, a nebula or a distant galaxy.
The Cape Cod National Seashore has some of the darkest skies in Massachusetts. Night photographers, astronomers and stargazers can frequently be seen enjoying the view from these areas.
Book a stargazing experience customized just for you! A memorable evening for any age and a unique way to celebrate your time on Cape Cod.
Your experience includes:
A telescope brought to your home, accommodations or to a great stargazing location such as a beach or field.
Sixty minutes of hosted viewing.
A laser tour of the night's highlights.
An astronomy themed surprise to take with you after your experience!
Frequently Asked Questions:
What happens if it's cloudy?
Great question! We need clear skies to get the most out of the experience. If the evening you book is cloudy, we can try a different evening that week if you have availibility. Or, we may just need to adjust our start time to ensure you get the best opportunity for viewing.
Where do we meet?
If your home or accommodations have dark and open skies without many trees, I can come to you and set up there. Or, you can choose to have the experience conducted from one of several great locations across Cape Cod.
What time does the experience start?
This all depends on the time of year. June has the longest days, meaning the earliest we can start is about 10:00pm. Spring and fall dates can start as early as 8:00pm. I will be able to provide a specific time after you request a date.
How Many People Can Attend?
This experience can be booked for one person, or as part of a larger activity such as a family get together or wedding. The experience will be customized for the party size. Great for couples, friends, and curious children. Not recommended for pets. :)
What are the rates?
Individuals, couples and groups up to four start at $175.
Larger parties and corporate events are $275.
