Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for this Badlands Scenic Flight and Stargazing Tour?

A: There's no strict age limit for the tour. However, kids should be at least 5 years old to fully enjoy the flight and stargazing experience. Make sure they can sit still for the flight and are interested in astronomy for the stargazing part. It's a great family outing!

Q: What do I wear for the stargazing part? Is it cold at night?

A: Definitely dress in layers! The temperature can drop significantly once the sun goes down, especially in the Badlands. A light jacket and closed-toe shoes are recommended. Also, don’t forget to bring a blanket to lay on while stargazing—it makes it more comfortable!

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

A: Yes! My XO Adventures is pretty flexible with rescheduling. They keep a close eye on the weather and will contact you if they need to change your flight or stargazing date. Just make sure to check their cancellation policy when you book.

Just booked the Badlands Scenic Flight and Stargazing Tour! So excited!

I’m gifting this to my husband for our anniversary! We’re both into nature and stargazing, so this combo is perfect. I’ve heard the flight lasts about 30-45 minutes and includes some snacks, which is awesome. The whole experience takes about 8 hours, so I hope we can handle it all in one day. Anyone done this yet?

Thinking about this experience for my parents' 30th anniversary!

The Badlands Scenic Flight and Stargazing Tour seems like a unique gift. My parents love outdoor stuff, but I'm worried they might be too old for the flight. They’re in their late 60s. Has anyone seen older folks do this tour? What was their experience like?
