A perfect outing for families, couples, and solo stargazers alike.

Bellows AFS is one of Oʻahu’s best spots for stargazing, thanks to its low light pollution and wide open skies. On select evenings, Stargazers of Hawaii sets up telescopes at Bellows Playground for an up-close look at the Moon, visible planets, and whatever the night sky has to offer.

Their knowledgeable staff walk you through what you’re seeing, from crater details on the Moon to the stories behind the constellations above. Whether you’ve never looked through a telescope before or you’re a lifelong astronomy enthusiast, this is a relaxed and genuinely memorable way to spend an evening at Bellows.
