Enjoy a cozy evening of astronomy, storytelling, and stargazing during Cosmos and Cocoa. The experience begins with a guided walk along part of the observatory’s Planet Walk trail, where guests explore scale models of the solar system on a scenic 1.2-mile roundtrip hike to Saturn and back.

After the walk, guests return to the observatory to warm up with hot cocoa while experienced astronomers lead an engaging night sky presentation blending science and storytelling. The evening continues with telescope viewing, offering close-up looks at planets, the Moon, star clusters, and distant galaxies.

Perfect for families and curious stargazers of all ages, this unique program combines outdoor exploration with the wonder of the cosmos.
