🔭 What to Expect



At each event, we’ll have telescopes, binoculars, and lasers ready for hands-on exploration.

Highlights include:


  • Real telescopes guided by professional astronomers

  • Stories and science behind the constellations

  • A relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere

  • No tickets or sign-ups—just stop by and look up!






🎁 Pair the Stars with Holiday Cheer



The Denver Christkindl Market is one of the city’s most beloved holiday traditions, featuring cozy lights, handcrafted gifts, mulled wine, and delicious seasonal treats. After a cup of hot cocoa or a stroll through the festive booths, head to the Tivoli Quad and let AstroTours show you the stars that inspired so many holiday stories.

AstroTours.org Featured in Denver Life Magazine

We've been featured in Denver Life Magazine’s 2025 Holiday Gift Guide! The holiday season often brings a search for meaningful gift ideas that go beyond the usual. AstroTours.org offers a unique experience that stands out among Colorado gift options. AstroTours invites you to give the universe itself as a gift.

AstroTours offers unforgettable stargazing experiences beneath Colorado’s clear night skies.

Whether you’re shopping for families, friends, or that person who “doesn’t need more stuff,” Denver Life Magazine sees what we believe deeply:


The best gifts aren’t wrapped. They’re experienced — remembered — and shared beneath the same sky.





“Give the Universe This Holiday Season — Literally.”



Here’s what Denver Life Magazine had to say in their “Written in the Stars” section:


“With AstroTours, your loved ones can trade crowded malls and glowing screens for starlit skies and cosmic wonder. Each guided experience is led by a professional astronomer who turns Colorado’s night sky into a living planetarium. Guests peer through powerful telescopes, trace constellations, and hear the myths that connect us to the cosmos — all while wrapped in blankets under the Rockies’ vast, glittering canopy.”


They also shared a quote from founder Luke Huxley:


“Stargazing is part of our cultural heritage. When you share stories under the stars, you’re continuing a human tradition that has been with us since the beginning — from the wise men following the star of Bethlehem to the ancient Greeks developing a whole cosmology of the sky. Stargazing connects us across cultures and continents, reminding us that we all share the same sky and the same planet.”


We couldn’t put it more beautifully ourselves.





The Gift That Lasts Long After the Night Ends 🌠



When you give an AstroTours experience, you’re giving:


✅ A night of learning and awe

✅ Real views through powerful telescopes

✅ Constellation stories and cosmic perspectives

✅ A memory that becomes a favorite family tradition


Our tours are family-friendly, accessible, and designed to make science feel personal, poetic, and unforgettable.

Gift cards are available now and can be used anytime throughout the year — for public tours, private events, birthdays, and beyond.

Here’s to more nights beneath the stars together ✨
