Kitt Peak Visitors Center is excited to launch a brand new, behind-the-scenes; Monthly VIP Tour that allows unprecedented telescope access to areas the public rarely gets to see. The new Monthly VIP Tour, designed for individuals and small groups, is priced at $40 per registrant and is slated for the 4th Saturday of each month, beginning December through May 2013.
This 10 a.m.-3 p.m., 5 hour, expansive Monthly VIP Tour starts with an inside tour of the World’s largest solar telescope and works its way across a half mile of telescopes and scientific facilities, culminating in a visit to the enormous, 18-story-tall Mayall 4-meter telescope.
The adult-oriented (15 years and older) Monthly VIP Tour encompasses parts of the Mountain that the general public never sees. Tour participants have the opportunity to learn more in-depth knowledge of the historic and scientifically important observatories located at their national observatory. Attendees are encouraged to bring a lunch, a hat, dress warmly and wear good walking shoes.
