An evening of stargazing is time well spent. On that we can probably all agree. Stargazing’s a simple way to enjoy the best Mother Nature has to offer. After all, all we have to do is walk outside and look up at the sky. However, if you’re up for a unique adventure, book a stay at this Missouri farm that boasts some of the best dark skies in the area.

While River of Life Farm in Dora doesn't have a brick and mortar observatory, it has the next best thing - dark skies, free of light population, and perfect for evenings spent stargazing.

You really don't even have to go outdoors to enjoy the views of the nighttime sky. The farm hosts guests in a collection of its enchanting treehouses and cabins.

Your treehouse might be one that boasts floor to ceilling windows or...

A deck that offers stellar views of the surrounding landscape and the sky.

Even before night falls, you'll have plenty to see in the sky above River of Life Farm. See if you can catch sight of a bald eagle.

Or plan to catch a stunning sunrise or a sensational sunset. You'll see some of the best in this quiet oasis.

River of Life Farm also welcomes guests to use it observation fields, where you can spend the evening gazing at the stars. Bring your equipment along, too.
