About this experience

Just the starry sky and you. Experience its infinite expanse and relax and listen to what it tells you: Stories like that of the great bear or the trick you can use to discover as many stars as possible in the clear sky. The VISIT DARK SKIES® listening experience is your personal rendez-vous with the night sky.

Arches is one of the most beautiful places in the USA to experience the natural night - with millions of stars. The listening experience makes lying on your back under the stars an unforgettable experience. Let your gaze be guided - simply play it on your smartphone. You've never looked this deep into the stars before.

This activity is ideal for you if you don't want to go on a stargazing tour but still want to immerse yourself in the cosmos as a couple.

The eye needs 30 minutes to adjust to the darkness. You can experience this process live and gain a deep and colorful perception of the sky.
