Kitt Peak National Observatory Visitor Center

Went awhile back with my cousin and explored the telescopes. Really cool experience.

Great views. It was winter when we visited. Want to return when the air is a little warmer. It was fun. They had the Visitors Center set up for kids and adults. Good side trip.

This was a fun get away with some short and refreshing outdoor walks involved in the tours. The overnight visits look really interesting.. Dark matter makes up most of the universe!! Good luck comprehending the implications...

We enjoyed this so much. If you are AT ALL interested in stargazing this is the place to be. I can't even describe how big and dark the night sky is up at Kitt Peak. We did their special program where they fed you dinner, told you about the history of Kitt Peak, and view different constellations and plants through the telescope. I highly recommend experiencing this.

Amazing! That sums it up! The night time viewing is a must see for anyone that enjoys astronomy. Our guide Charles was beyond wonderful!! He was fun, charismatic, funny and passionate. He did a great job being interactive with the group! My 12 year old son hit it off with him from the start and Charles ignited even more passion for astronomy with him! Lucas, our other guide, was good too and very knowledgeable. This is experience is something we will never forget!
