We are thrilled to announce that AstroTours.org was recently featured on HGTV! We were honored to be selected for this amazing opportunity to showcase our unique astronomy tours and share our passion for the stars with viewers across the country.

If you haven't seen the clip yet, you can check it out on HGTV's Instagram page here: https://www.instagram.com/reel/CoVmYIRsK6C/. The clip captures the essence of our tours at Winter Park, and we're so proud to have had the chance to share what we do with a wider audience.

For those who may not know, AstroTours.org has been partnering with Winter Park Resort to offer guided astronomy tours that provide a unique and unforgettable experience for our customers. Our tours take place in some of the most beautiful and remote locations in the United States, where you can escape the city lights and marvel at the stunning beauty of the night sky.

We believe that our astronomy tours are not only educational but also a fun and exciting way to connect with nature and the universe. We're passionate about sharing our knowledge and love of astronomy with others, and we hope that our recent feature on HGTV will inspire more people to join us on our tours.

Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to seeing you on one of our astronomy tours soon!

Gift Cards

Happy Holidays!

We are working on adding a gift card function to the website soon! But for the time being we can manually make gift cards for you!

Just:

1. Email us (Luke@AstroTours.org) something like: Subject: Astro Gift Card Hello, I would like to purchase a gift card for {the amount you would like to put on the gift card} . Thank You,
   

2. Pay the gift card balance at https://www.AstroTours.org/payments

3. We will make a discount code for that amount and send it to you. Then all you have to do is send the code to the gift recipient along with the URL AstroTours.org/book with the instructions to use the promo code at checkout when they pick a date to use the gift card.

P.S. If you would like the gift card code to be something fun like "Merry-Xmas-Luke80$" let us know! It just has to be somewhat unique like that so it couldn't be randomly guessed.

optional: print this and fill out to, from, amount, and code to have a physical card to give
