Come experience the starry sky above Northstar® Resort!  Join star guide and poet Tony Berendsen, the President of the Nevada Science Coalition, for a unique and educational night under the stars.  

Every tour is as different as the starry skies above however each will include a poem reading, a fun space quiz with prizes, a laser tour of the stars and constellations and a telescopic viewing.  Plus, all guests will receive a commemorative flashlight.  So bring a child’s curiosity and plenty of questions for an evening of wonder and awe.

Due to the group size please refrain from bringing your own telescopes.  We'll have two telescopes, binoculars and a Celestron Sky Scout for participants to use in order to get a great view of the night sky! 

Guests will ride the Highlands Gondola to the top where they'll meet up with Tony at the Ritz-Carlton Destination Club at 8:30 p.m..  From there he will lead you on a short hike to the Lodge at Big Springs Deck with a mountainous viewing site.  Following the tour, the group will walk back to the Highlands Gondola for your decent back down to the Village at Northstar around 10:30 p.m..

For 4 additional dates Tahoe Star Tours will be offering an evening of science, poetry, star gazing and music!  Accent Nevada, a Reno based string quartet, will keep your ears delighted while Tony takes you on a tour of the skies.  There will be hot chocolate and coffee to sip on while enjoying the entertainment and all attendees will have a chance to win a pair of binoculars.  These special Tahoe Star Tours will take place on June 19, July 17, August 13 and September 11.
