Twelve high-power telescopes allow guests to see awe-inspiring views of stars, galaxies, the Moon and planets. Visitors are welcome to bring their own telescopes, although the park’s websites notes that “For some, the best stargazing is done with the binoculars we were born with – our eyes.”
In a statement marking the opening of the park, Karen Raymore, the Hocking Hills Tourism Association executive director said she was “thrilled to offer one more reason for travelers to visit the region, and a new way for them to experience a natural attraction that has long mesmerized all who visit us overnight.”
