Star Parties

Rated the #1 Stargazing Destination in America by USA Today, Tonopah offers some of the clearest, darkest skies in the nation.

In most cities, you might spot just 25–50 stars. Here, you can see up to 7,000—and on a moonless night, the Milky Way stretches overhead in dazzling detail.

We offer free Star Parties from May through September, weather permitting

Star Parties take place at the Tonopah Stargazing Park located at the end of Ray Tennant Drive. The Park features concrete pads, benches, and tables. Telescopes, binoculars, and iPads with stargazing apps will be provided. Attendees are welcome to bring their own equipment.

No reservations are necessary. Everyone is welcome.

✨ Visit our Stargazing Page for details about the park — including location, amenities, and everything you need to plan your night under the stars.
