Gorgeous outlook to the lake, the view is best seen at sundown. Plenty of information inside to help insure you’re upholding proper etiquette! Staff is extremely helpful if you need direction, for example they can tell you if there’s a telescope technician around or if they will be there that day. Get here early (around 8:30 or 30mins before sundown) bring chairs, bring warm clothes, maybe bring some food (plenty of pizza restaurants nearby) if you’re planning on staying a while.

The building is very nice. There is some programs during the summer, most of which are free. The gift shop is open 4 pm until midnight. If you come here after dark, please follow the night time etiquette. Red lights only, no white or bright lights.

Such an amazing and well thought out space. A lot of thoughtful touches including beautiful pink bushes, benches, an inside auditorium, and outside auditorium, a gift shop and sparkling clean restrooms. I high rep men this facility and can’t wait to see what they do with it!

Great place for some star gazing. We came for the meteor shower and stayed for the northern lights. Plenty of room in the grass to lay a blanket out. Remember to bring a red flashlight. White light not allowed. They are adding additional parking so, there's construction for summer 2024.

Awesome! Next time I will come at night as this is a dark sky park. As you can see from the pictures, it was still cool during the day.
