Recommended Fitness

These tours require a basic fitness level to enjoy. We will walk on grass at our outdoor viewing areas to access the telescopes. Some types of telescope are best accessed via a small step ladder, although other viewing options will be available. Seating will be provided. Please contact us to learn more if you have accessibility concerns.

Good to Know

Warm layers are a must—it will get cold under the clear sky! We will also move around using minimal lighting during the dark sky experience (red light to preserve our night vision).

Dinner and/or refreshments will be available during your tour. Please refer to your itinerary for inclusions and options.

On a Mystic Mountain tour, we welcome you as part of our travel family. You don’t have to download an app—just pick up the phone and talk to us!
