Great experience! - Fantastic experience. Chad was engaging and fun, and it was a perfect night to see the stars, learn about the constellations, and see the milky way.

Great Evening Adventure! - What a fantastic evening! Chad Graf is an impactful and engaging storyteller! The event was very interactive with Chad taking time to get to know his audience. It was also very comfortable, even on a chilly evening, thanks to the blankets and handwarmers he provided. I thoroughly enjoyed the way he weaved together Greek mythology, Native American lore and science. From the Easter Bunny to Kokopelli to Walt Disney, Chad kept us engaged the entire evening. He also explained how the solar system's orbital plane intersects with the galactic equator. This is the first time I have been able to really visualize how this intersection affects which constellations we see through the year. He did it in five minutes using two hula hoops! Thanks for a wonderful evening Chad! I'll be repeating this adventure the next time I'm in Sedona!

Fun, Cold and adventurous evening - Chad is funny and told a lot of stories regarding Native traditions, Astronomy and Astrology. ProTip: When you drive to the meeting spot, the paved road (Cultural Place) will end and you will enter dirt road. Just keep going straight and you will see his trailer at the end. There is no walk involved as you will park next to the viewing spot.

An Enjoyable Experience - This was a very enjoyable experience. The chairs were comfortable and there were plenty of blankets and hand warmers. The night wasn't completely clear although there were plenty of openings in the sky to give us lots to see and learn about. Our guide was enthusiastic and informative.

Magical Night Under the Stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - The Night Sky Story Tour was incredible! It’s the perfect mix of "big picture" astronomy and captivating storytelling that kept the whole group engaged. I especially loved the thoughtful touches—they provide camp chairs, blankets, and hand warmers, so you stay perfectly cozy while taking in the views. An absolute must-do if you want a comfortable, wonder-filled night under the stars!

Not Your Regular Star Show - Chad provides all of the things you need for a great experience, even if the clouds never clear the sky. Unfortunately, on our night, the clouds hung around but Chad still entertained us for 2 hours and helped us learn more about the night sky by discussing the Milky Way and the universe's "equator." Using an app on his phone connected to a TV, we were still able to see the constellations he discussed. At one point, Jupiter was bright enough to show through the clouds, but alas, no other celestial objects could be seen. Expect lots of laughs and a little audience participation. PS - Chad offers a full refund if the sky is cloud covered. You can attend the entire presentation and still request a refund however we felt that was unnecessary because even with cloud cover, Chad was entertaining and we had a lovely time sitting outside.

I guess if you knew very... - I guess if you knew very little about Astronomy and you had young kids you might be okay with it. We left early (an hour into it) but not that informative. Kids Might like silly jokes and being outside under blankets.
