We went to the one at Pyramid Lake Resort for their 3-course dinner with telescope experience and the one at Jasper Skytram.īoth locations offers very similar activities, but the atmosphere were completely different. Jasper Planetarium telescope experience has 3 different sites in Jasper, Fairmont Jasper Lake Resort, Jasper Skytram and Pyramid Lake Resort and the one by Fairmont claimed to have the biggest telescope in Canada (if I was not misreading). Maybe bring hats/gloves just in case - even though it was almost July. Even though it was warm during the day, the night was windy and cold, so don't come wearing sandals and shorts, especially since you might be standing in one spot for an hour or more (if you stay till midnight or later). Overall a fun and educational event that got me more interested in astronomy. Was neat to see "live stars" but trickier since the sun is out so late to see them clearly. Of course, it was much busier and so everyone had to stand in separate groups.
We made use of their "raincheck offer" and came back 2 nights later when the skies were clear to see the live telescope show. Since it was cloudy and only a few attending, we got to sit in outdoor chairs and listen to Matt show us vivid and clear pictures of stars and astronomy phenomenons taken previously. Telescope portion is outdoors starting at 11pm so be prepared for the weather. Planetarium show was comfy in an outdoor covered tent and Peter is very interactive and responsive to questions.
Husband and I attended both planetarium and telescope package on a cloudy night.
