David Dunlap Observatory

Reviewed By wandersoles - Toronto, Canada

I have been here a few times and they had the observatory open to view Saturn. They also had a lot of astronomy experts set up their telescopes on the grounds to see the moon, mars and the Milky Way. Amazing experience. They used to have some talks as well.

Torrance Barrens Dark-Sky Preserve

Reviewed By 166debaratig - Pune, India

Just loved it. Felt like an explorer when we were there! Walking over the gigantic rocks in pitch dark, with tiny mobile lights guiding us our way! What an adventure it was! Also saw so many shooting stars, moving satellites, picture perfect sky so full of stars and the clearest milky way!
