Stargazing Proposal!
My boyfriend and I originally booked the stargazing tour, but he privately called and made it a private stargazing tour so that he could propose under the stars! Oliver (tour guide) and Steve (photographer) were the absolute best! They played along and helped my ,now fiance, plan the best night ever. I cannot say enough good things about Oliver. Even though it was cloudy, he did his best to ensure we had a night.
The tour guides were...
The tour guides were great, for blankets and chairs (needed as it is a cement slab you are on), received hot chocolate or cider packets with warm water. The walk up to the area was a little longer than expected for some of our family but overall good experience
The night sky storyteller
Do this. Don’t hesitate. What a perfectly curated experience. Tucked in under the stars, you see it all. And the shooting stars are everywhere. Our guide was the best part. He gave us a tour of the night sky. He had storytelling and history and science packaged into a performance. My only complaint is I wish it was longer. I could have stayed for two hours listening to him and staring at the night sky.
I don't recommend unless it's a moonless night
We always enjoy star gazing experiences. They have a great spot to do star gazing in a very dark area of their property. However, if the moon is out you are very limited in what you can see. I would consider coming back here just to see the sky on a moonless night.
Loved the tour! The tour...
Loved the tour! The tour guide was very entertaining and knowledgeable, would definitely recommend to any star lover!
