Mount Lemmon SkyTour

Event Details

Description

Your SkyTour begins on the University of Arizona campus at UA Science: Flandrau with an escorted coach tour that will expand your perception of the Sonoran Desert's Catalina Mountains and our universe. As you travel through time and habitats, you will be accompanied by UA educators and scientists who will guide you through the wonders of the geology, ecology and astronomy that are all a part of this unique sky island. 

The road may end at the summit of Mount Lemmon, Tucson’s highest destination; however, that is where your celestial adventure begins! There you will experience the grandeur of the night sky like never before, from our new 32-inch Schulman telescope. This telescope is now the largest dedicated public observing telescope in Arizona and offers you captivating access to the universe. Our world-renowned expertise in delivering out-of-this-world experiences along with awe-inspiring images of the cosmos is like no other.
