We’re excited to share that AstroTours has been making a splash on Denver television—appearing on both 9NEWS and FOX31 within the same month! These features shine a spotlight on our mission to bring you closer to the stars, whether in the heart of the city or under the darkest skies in the Rockies. Below, we’ll give you a quick rundown on each segment and show you why now is the perfect time to book a cosmic adventure in Boulder, Breckenridge, or Castle Rock.


1. AstroTours on FOX31

Our recent feature on FOX31 came from a journalist who experienced an AstroTour firsthand and was eager to recommend it to viewers. She highlighted how easy and enjoyable our stargazing tours are—especially in Boulder, where we host several nights a week with virtually no hiking required. Just arrive at the trailhead, settle in with our high-powered telescopes, and let our astronomers guide you through constellations, planets, and the stories behind them.

Key Takeaways From the FOX31 Appearance

  • Accessible Stargazing: Perfect for families, newcomers, or anyone craving an outdoor adventure without the workout.

  • Expert Guidance: Learn about everything from star life cycles to mythological lore.

  • Versatile Locations: Beyond Boulder, we also operate in Castle Rock, Breckenridge, and other dark-sky sites where the universe truly pops.


2. AstroTours on 9NEWS

9NEWS caught up with us during a special stargazing event at Denver’s Civic Center Park. We set up telescopes right in the city center, giving curious onlookers a chance to see the Moon, planets, and even nebulae under the urban sky. This segment celebrated how stargazing can captivate people of all ages—even if they can’t make it out to the mountains.

Highlights From the 9NEWS Feature

  • Downtown Stargazing: Showing that city lights don’t have to dim your cosmic curiosity.

  • Family-Friendly Fun: Families, couples, and first-timers alike discovered just how accessible astronomy can be.

  • Darker-Sky Tours: We also encouraged enthusiasts to venture out to Boulder, Castle Rock, or Breckenridge for a deeper dive into the night sky.
