    This is so cool! You’ve got to check it out 🤩. It’s educational, and truly amazing what you can see from the telescope. The staff is friendly and informative. The entrance fee is affordable for kids and adults. I definitely recommend this place! It doesn’t take long to get through, but you can take your time as well.

    The whole facility is run by the most amazing volunteers ever!!! They are so knowledgeable and love to share everything with you and tour the facility. It was a great experience I cannot wait to go back again!!!

    Went there with my wife ( we loved it). We got there an hour earlier and everything was dark so we thought it was close, thanks God we decided to wait a bit til it open. The place is non-profit btw! I was completely blown away by the dedication and care of the staff, they were super knowledgeable, friendly. If you have the time you should definitely visit. We are planning on going back in 3 months once the sky changes a bit.

    Great experience and low cost for an "out of this world experience!" Love the stories from the volunteers and the education of what you are seeing. Got to Jupiter, Andromeda galaxy and a star all on a Saturday night. This is a great visit at night for both kids and adults.

    Not a far drive from Wichita, and it offers the unique experience of being able to simply be in nature away from the lights of the city. I found all staff to be extremely welcoming and very informative. Beautiful area to go to on the weekend with friends. I highly suggest visiting on clear nights. Really great place in Kansas.

    Really great place that will do a discount for Girl Scout and group visits if prearranged. Really friendly place that wants to show the cosmos to everyone and help people discover new things.

    Very friendly and informative! The guy running the telescope was really good! Especially since my little ones ask a thousand questions! He answered them all!! Great place to check out!

    This place is AWESOME!!! So much fun and super cheap. The staff and volunteers are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, and genuinely excited to share their passion! I HIGHLY recommend this for date night, or to share the beauty and wonder of the night sky with your children.

    The most amazing views of the sky I have ever seen! Get an annual pass and come every season! There's lots to look at. The guides were amazing and full of knowledge

    Small but mighty. We visited in daytime for the “garage sale”. Staff were very nice and offered explanations for the goods on sale, and cut good deals when we wanted multiple items. Exhibits inside were engaging. My son has asked to go back to look through telescope at night.
