Jasper Dark Sky & Planetarium

Jasper Dark Sky & Planetarium

Jasper Dark Sky:
In 2011, the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada designated Jasper National Park as a dark sky preserve, an area where almost no artificial lighting is visible at night. Each October, there is a star-gazing playground with the Jasper Dark Sky Festival.

Jasper Planetarium:
Take a guided tour of the stars, planets, local First Nations constellations, Northern Lights, and countless wonders of the Milky Way with a live astronomer in this 35-seat air-supported domed theatre. Outside the planetarium, explore the wonders
of the world’s largest accessible dark sky preserve through the largest telescope in the Rockies.
