Visit the world’s largest accessible dark sky preserve Jasper National Park! Guided tours take place in our dome theatre, then outside with the largest, most powerful telescopes in the Rockies!
Quick Details
Venture out to Miette Mine Trail for a delicious wild-west BBQ and ‘haunted’ telescope tour!
On October 26, venture out to Miette Mine Trail (across from Miette Mountain Cabins) where historic frights, starry sights and barbecue bites await! Guided by astronomy experts from The Jasper Planetarium and food & beverage staff from Jasper-Banff Collection By Pursuit.
Savour a barbecue dinner with themed hot or cold drinks at the trailhead near Miette Mountain Cabins and embark on a guided Halloween hike past Jasper’s abandoned coal mine ruins.
Your eerie evening concludes with dessert at the clearing and a Jasper Planetarium telescope stargazing session where you will get the chance to:
- Take in some hands-on science demos
- Possibly see some doomed deep space objects like a ‘demon star’ or the region of space inhabited by a black hole.
This event will run “rain or-shine” (mwa-ha-ha-ha-haa!)
As this is an outdoor event, please dress for evening Rocky Mountain weather (i.e. warmly!)
