REVIEWS
We visited in June 2019 and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Matthew, Jules and Ahad were great hosts--knowledgable and enthusiastic guides to the stars above Jasper. So many places in the world are filled with light pollution, Jasper is all the more special. If you are in the vicinity don't miss this.

My husband and I are visiting Banff and Jasper Parks for two weeks to hike and enjoy the scenery. Most nights we are in bed by 10pm, but while staying at the wonderful Alpine Village just outside Jasper Town, we learned about the Jasper Planetarium. The evening includes a 45 minute planetarium show plus an hour outside with huge telescopes looking at the stars - this is a terrific activity for anyone. Call early for the earlier show which fills up fast.

Jasper Planetarium was an awesome experience....informative and Ahad was a great narrator. The star gazing after was incredible and allows you to see the most stars you've ever seen. Andrew was very knowledgeable and fun to talk to as I went from telescope to telescope

We went two nights in a row and had a great time. The men were very knowledgable and funny. We learned a lot. They had a lot of telescopes and we had a great view of some planets. The deep space telescope was also brilliant. The men were very helpful and patient and helped us making nice photographs. All in all a perfect experience.
