Before Your Visit

Want to make a day or evening out of your visit to The Jasper Planetarium?

In addition to our dome theatre, telescope and special event experiences, our location also offers the following out-of-this-world things to do (fees and taxes apply in most cases):

horseback riding stables
a world-class spa
Canada’s #1 resort-based golf course
an indoor shopping promenade and art gallery
