Escape the city lights and discover Santa Barbara’s night sky on a guided stargazing experience led by UCSB PhD students. Guests meet in downtown Santa Barbara and travel together to a nearby dark-sky location, where a high-powered telescope reveals planets, star clusters, and distant galaxies. Along the way, your guide shares the stories and science behind the cosmos. Small groups enjoy about 90 minutes under the stars, with complimentary hot drinks to keep warm. Far from the glow of the city, guests experience the quiet awe of seeing the universe come into focus above them.
