Discover the wonders of the night sky with our award-winning star-gazing tour package!

Stop at: The Jasper Planetarium

35 min Admission included

Come experience the world's largest accessible Dark Sky Preserve and North America's smallest town with us. Your tour starts at the Main Lodge of Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge, steps away from our 38-seat dome theatre. This unique experience is only available in Jasper, and it's more than a planetarium show—it's an interactive journey with a knowledgeable local guide. You'll get to explore the wonders of the night sky, from Indigenous constellations to the Aurora Borealis over mountain peaks, from views of Rocky Mountain glaciers from space to the edge of the universe and back. And don't forget to ask your guide questions after our descent back to Earth! Experience all of this and more from the comfort of a climate-controlled dome theatre.
