Overview

Deep Sky Eye Observatory, home of the largest telescope in Atlantic Canada, invites you to experience the night sky the way it was meant to be seen – under truly dark skies in the Acadian Skies & Mi’kmaq Lands region, North America’s first certified Starlight Tourist Destination

From your first look at the Milky Way to the thrill of seeing Saturn’s rings or distant galaxies, this guided astro-tourism experience is designed to be awe-inspiring, welcoming, and easy to enjoy – whether you’re a first-time stargazer or a lifelong space fan.

Nocturnal Sky Theatre Experience (approx. 2.5 hours)
Relax outdoors in an anti-gravity chair with a warm blanket as your guide helps you learn the sky using Polaris and the constellations. Watch live telescope views projected outdoors on the big screen, then finish with unforgettable observing through the Phoenix telescope, Atlantic Canada’s largest telescope! You’ll find all available upcoming dates for the Nocturnal Sky Theatre Experience on our website under Book Now – Stargazing.

Stay with us!
Choose between our Sky Bubble (one queen-size bed) and our Family Sky Bubble (two queen-size beds), both featuring clear vinyl dome top that gives you an incredible view of the night sky above! You can also book a stay in our one bedroom Riverfront Sky Cabin that is open year round.
