Step into the stars with two tickets to the unforgettable Space & Spaces Tour at the historic Yerkes Observatory in Williams Bay, Wisconsin—a place often called the birthplace of modern astrophysics. 🌍🔭 Nestled along the shores of Geneva Lake, Yerkes has inspired generations of astronomers, including Edwin Hubble and Carl Sagan, and continues to captivate visitors with its majestic architecture and celestial wonders.
This immersive 1.5-hour tour invites you to explore both the newly restored and original spaces of this international landmark. Albert Einstein visited--now it's your turn. You’ll stand beneath the awe-inspiring Great Refractor telescope, housed in a 280,000-pound dome, and visit the beautifully refurbished Hagenah Rotunda and Ann M. Drake Family Library. 📚🌠 The tour winds through the attic library—home to 125 years of rare books and vintage astronomy equipment—and leads you through hidden gems like the dungeon, the crossing, and the Kuiper Sphere exhibit. With breathtaking astrophotography, intricate architectural details by Henry Ives Cobb, and stories that connect sky to soul, this is far more than a science tour—it’s a cosmic adventure. (Please note: the tour includes staircases and tight spaces and is not wheelchair accessible.)
To continue the magic at home, this package also includes a realistic, touch- and remote-controlled Moon Lamp. 🌕💡 With a 6-inch diameter and a detailed lunar surface, it features 7 touch-sensitive colors and 128 colors via remote control. A wooden base and USB rechargeable battery make it both stunning and convenient.
