The Jasper Planetarium & dark sky telescope tours

The planetarium tour was fantastic. The presentation had great information and the visuals were nice. Would love to go back and do the telescope experience if we had time. The drive up was beautiful and the lodge is lovely.

The highlight of my summer so far! The tour is fantastic and the staff have so much knowledge it blew my mind. We arrived on a cloudy night but still learned and saw so much in the displays and talks, they have a nice cosy set up with a fire, too! We managed to go back the following evening for a complimentary look through the telescopes on a clearer night which was a brucey bonus. Kudos to everyone at the planetarium for putting on such a wonderful show, especially Gerran! And Beth was great with all the organizing!! I am recommending to everyone who visits Jasper, come clear or cloudy skies!

This is a temporary built setup with a very very small dome and folding chairs and recliners inside. It’s on a parking lot of the Fairmont hotel. The hotel itself has a great view and walking area, that we enjoyed more than the show itself. The projection is blurry and the whole story is not well thought. It keeps jumping from one point to another without a logical sequence. Skippable.

We had an amazing time with the Planetarium Combo! The interactive show was not only super cool but also very informative. Getting the chance to see a galaxy through a telescope was an unforgettable experience. I’m so happy I had the opportunity to visit one of the best places in the world to watch the stars, and the planetarium program made the whole experience even more magical.

My partner and I went to the Jasper planetarium and did the dark sky package tour on July 27th! INCREDIBLE RAINY DAY POLICY! We were originally booked for July 26th but the weather was gray, muggy, and cloudy. One simple phone call and the Planetarium had no issue rescheduling us for any day of our choosing. They even let us think about it for a day to see how the weather would be before picking a new tour date. Absolutely beautiful clear night amidst a week of clouds and rain. HIGHLY RECOMMEND GOING FOR THE DARK SKY PACKAGE, we got to walk privately with a small group around Lake Beauvart and see constellations, satellites, and even a glimpse of Saturn (looks like a big star, you can't see the rings through the binoculars on this particular day) through the crystal clear binoculars they provide. Super nice lodge and surrounding area, very fancy. Everything was ran well and smooth. You can tell the people working here love what they do and love teaching/showing others the night sky. Shoutout to Lyn our tour guide.

I went to Jasper with some friends and the Planetarium was definitely one of the highlights! It was a rainy day but they still made sure we had a fun experience and told us so many cool facts about space! Caitlin did our dome presentation and she did an absolutely phenomenal job. She was so enthusiastic and knew so many awesome things that were super fun to learn about! We were handed off to Gerran afterward where we went to learn some other really cool thing! He was also so wonderful and did an amazing job making everyone feel welcomed and entertained by making pieces of the presentation interactive which was super cool! I would absolutely recommend the planetarium to anyone heading over to Jasper, especially if you have an interest in space and the universe. Thank you to everyone at the Planetarium for such a wonderful experience!

The staff were incredibly knowledgeable, interactive and fun. It was a wonderful learning experience but more important it gave me a greater appreciation of the night sky overall, the Northern Lights, meteors and meteorites. I've touched a moon rock before but one from Mars left me full of wonder and awe. Plus the opportunity to view stars through good telescopes added to the event. A great experience for people of all ages. Thanks so much to the staff for making the evening a wonderful experience.

This was an excellent experience. Guides were fantastic. However… there was a kid with light up shoes that kept his lantern on which made a glow in my pictures when we were on the lake. Once I asked a guide if everyone could please have their lanterns off during times we were taking pictures she did ask for everyone to shut them off. As for the shoes, the parents are just plain inconsiderate. I didn’t say anything. What’s the point, it’s not like he could change his shoes right then and there. I would have paid more for an adult only experience. It would be good to add no light up shoes when booking.
