University of Arizona's Steward Observatory Richard F. Caris Mirror Laboratory

My family (of non-sciencey people) greatly enjoyed this fascinating tour. If our guide, Andrew, had not told us it was his first time giving the whole tour, we would have never known. He was so informative and enthusiastic that we were fully engaged and learned a lot about astrophysics. I am grateful that I heard about this from another UofA parent. I highly recommend the Mirror Lab tour.

Jack and Will gave an amazing tour of the Mirror Lab and the history of the facilities, where these unique giant telescope mirrors are made. Not only was the tour informative but it was also infused with lightheartedness and humor. Both guides were knowledgeable and open to questions. And the technology is made right here in Tuscon, Arizona. A great way to get a little behind-the-scenes of great science! Highly recommend!!

I was in Tucson to visit an old AF buddy. His wife coordinated a tour at the mirror lab. Our guide was Chad and Will. The tour involved the history of the lab and its critical role in scientific research and discoveries. What a fascinating tour! I highly recommend this tour for those with casual and in-depth interest in this topic!! The transportation of these large lenses itself is amazing.

Want your mind blown? This is an incredible tour. We are so lucky to have such an amazing experience here in Tucson. Will, Adrian, Ella, and Andrew led an informative and exciting tour with complete professionalism and a friendliness. The innovative minds that are shaping the future of astronomy are here in Tucson and we got to see it up close. This is not to be missed!!!

This was an amazing experience! This is a hidden gem and I highly recommend, and hope you get as wonderful guides as Chase, Will and Adrianne. Smart, coherent speakers who make the content accessible. I had no idea it would be as engaging. All the other participants were into it too. You definitely get your money's worth and it's time well spent.

I did this tour twice in 2 weeks. The first tour was so good that when my daughter came to Tucson for a visit, we signed up for the tour again. Adrianne, Lumi, and Will did a great job. They provide lots of information, videos, on-site tour, and they were prepared to answer our questions. I enthusiastically recommend this tour.

My husband and I are visiting Tucson and looking for things to do. We both love science, history and how things are made. We were so pleased with this tour and with the two presentors that gave us the tour, Andrew and Sage. Highly recommend this tour.

This tour was amazing! Our guides (Will, Adrian, and Chase) were incredibly knowledgeable! They made the tour interesting and fun! They were open to all of our questions and (more impressively) had all the answers! I highly recommend this tour!
