What is a Star Party?
A Lowell Observatory Star Party is a high-quality, educational stargazing experience that will show you our dark skies like you’ve never seen them before. Our educators use portable telescopes and powerful lasers to show you objects like:
- Galaxies
- Star Clusters
- Binary Stars
- Laser-guided Constellation Tours
Star Parties can be booked for wedding receptions, birthday parties, conferences, or any other gathering. We offer flexible scheduling and a variety of packages to best tailor the experience to your needs. Learn about the cosmos with a private viewing experience at your event — book a Star Party with us today!
Available every month except July. Star parties may be rescheduled due to inclement weather, or alternative programming may be offered.
