About The Jasper Planetarium & dark sky telescope tours
The Jasper Planetarium pairs indoor star shows with guided telescope tours that take advantage of the area’s exceptionally dark skies. Presentations are led by knowledgeable staff who point out planets, galaxies and constellations; when weather permits, powerful telescopes reveal Saturn’s rings, Jupiter and deep-sky objects.
Tours often include a walk into darker areas for unobstructed viewing and the operator’s rainy-day guarantee offers flexibility. This is an excellent choice for families, amateur astronomers and anyone wanting to experience the Milky Way vividly.
