    Experience a night of Maui stargazing with this rooftop astronomy program. Astrophotography Workshops are by request. Subject to cancellation without notice due to weather. Space is limited; reservations are required.

    Kristy Pepping said:  With an all-ages rooftop astronomy program and showings nightly, the Hyatt Hotel in Maui is a great spot to view the stars and sky. They have two large telescopes where the facilitator zooms in on various star formations and planets. We all learned more about space and had a chance to view some amazing nighttime creations! I will add you need to climb a small flight of stairs and go across a walkway so this may not be the best for stroller-bound kids. Reservations required.
