Tours & Programs

You'll find adventures to experience day-and-night here on this iconic mountain...

Kitt Peak is very much alive during the daylight hours and offers a variety of activities to enjoy. During the summer, the mountain is a great place to beat the desert heat!

Kids 13 & under FREE for daytime summer tours

NEW! Until Aug 31, kids ages 13-and-under are FREE for any of our daytime tours

FULL LIST OF KITT PEAK DAYTIME TOURS

When the Sun sets, our famous evening and overnight programs are a great way to spend some time after twilight learning about the cosmos and viewing the night sky. During these programs, you'll discover the constellations, how to view hidden objects in the heavens with binoculars, and see deep sky objects with our telescopes.

Terms and Conditions

Please select your date carefully when you reserve and enter your information accurately. Payment can be made with a variety of credit cards.

For all activities, you may cancel at any time up to 24 hours prior to your booking date and time without any penalty.

If less than 24 hours notice is provided, tickets are non-refundable and cannot be rescheduled but we can provide a rain-check or book you into a comparable experience, pending availability.

We reserve the right to cancel part or all of the program in the event of natural or human-made hazards, threatening weather, power failures, or other safety concerns beyond our control.

In this event, you will be offered the chance to take a 2-year rain-check to come back at-no-additional charge, receive a refund, or rebook for another date for a comparable tour or program such as our evening or daytime observing program (our daytime program is more resilient to weather and we recommend booking into this as a backup option in the summer months when monsoon weather can be unpredictable.)

(Unfortunately we cannot refund dorm fees for overnight tours less than 24 hours in advance.)

If a last-minute emergency or other situation comes up that prevents some or all of your group from attending, please let us know as soon as possible as this will allow us to fill the empty space with others.
