This is our favorite tour! We care about you, your experience, and your time in South Dakota. You'll be taken to special locations where animals congregate during the setting sun. As you enjoy the wildlife of the Badlands, we'll take care of any photos you wish. The "Blue Hour" begins after sunset and continues for an hour, highlighting the wild formations with the bright blue and orange sky. Next, we'll take you to the night viewing area in the park at a location only My XO Adventures knows. We'll see planets, shooting stars, and the Milky Way Galaxy. Our highly skilled guide will capture night photos and share them at the end of the tour, ensuring you have great memories of your experience.

Q&A

Q: What's the age limit for this experience? Can kids join?

A: Yes! Kids can definitely join the Badlands After Dark tour. It's a family-friendly experience, but I'd recommend it for ages 6 and up since it includes some longer periods of sitting while stargazing. Plus, the guides are super friendly and great with kids!

Q: Can this be rescheduled if the weather is bad?

A: Absolutely! My XO Adventures is really flexible about rescheduling due to weather conditions. Just give them a heads-up, and they’ll work with you to find a new date that fits. They want everyone to have a great experience!

Q: What should I wear for the night stargazing portion?

A: Dress in layers! It gets pretty chilly once the sun goes down. A warm jacket, hat, and maybe some gloves would be great. And don't forget comfy shoes since you'll be walking a bit. The Zero-Gravity Chairs are awesome but you'll want to be comfy while you're out there!

Just booked the Badlands After Dark experience! So excited!

I just snagged tickets for the Badlands After Dark tour! I've been dying to see the Milky Way and I heard they really know how to find the best spots in the park. The sunset colors sound amazing too! I can't wait to relax in those Zero-Gravity chairs while stargazing. Anyone else done this? Any tips?

Thinking about gifting the Badlands After Dark tour!

I’m considering this experience as a gift for my boyfriend's birthday. He loves the outdoors and stargazing. Just want to know if it’s worth it and if anyone has gone and can share their experience. The photo aspect sounds cool too!
