About

Identify constellations, learn about deep-sky objects, and get to know the moon like never before. There are even overnight programs and workshops available.

RVer Tips

Kitt Peak does not allow any camping/overnight parking, but Gilbert Ray Campground is a good option to stay nearby. The public parking area for both day and evening activities is near the Visitor Center. You must be registered for a program to visit Kitt Peak after dark.
