Join Rocky Mountain Astronomy Tours for a once a year experience under the stars at the Otters and Others Zoo and Conservation during the Perseid Meteor Shower. Away from city lights, this unique setting offers darker skies and a peaceful atmosphere perfect for exploring the universe.

The Perseid Meteor Shower is one of the most exciting meteor showers of the entire year. In any given year you can expect to see 50-100 shooting stars per hour or 1 every minute! This is an event you don't want to miss!

Your experience is guided by an experienced astronomer using large, high-powered telescopes to reveal incredible celestial objects. Depending on the night, you may observe planets like Saturn or Jupiter, colorful nebulae, distant galaxies, and dense star clusters—objects that are often invisible to the naked eye.

Throughout the evening, you’ll not only view these objects up close, but also learn the stories and science behind them in an engaging, easy-to-understand way. This experience is designed to be interactive, allowing you to ask questions and deepen your understanding of the night sky.

Set within a zoo and conservation environment, this event also emphasizes respect for nature. Guests are asked to follow low-light guidelines to preserve night vision and minimize disturbance to wildlife, creating a calm and immersive nighttime experience.

Whether you're a first-time stargazer or already passionate about astronomy, this experience offers a memorable way to connect with the cosmos.
