    Lyrid Meteor Shower

Drop the gadgets and come, count stars with us!

TOUR OVERVIEW

Remember your childhood days spotting the constellations and look around for one shooting star to make a wish. The summer holiday with sleep on the terrace amidst all the cousins, looking for the Pole star, were some of the best memories of our childhood. Cities, lights and the pollution has taken that away from us, and our kids? Let’s live those moments again and give your kids a starry treat.  Join F5 for a night out with stars and witness the meteor shower. Who knows, you may find a new hobby with your little one!

While the trip is moms and kids friendly, solo ladies are absolutely welcome to join us too!
