Visit Itinerary

In order to make the most of your visit to historic Natchitoches, you may like to combine your visit to the Black Hole Science Lab with a visit to another area attraction. While this is not necessary for one class of 30 students (or fewer), it will be necessary when two classes are visiting in order to avoid having one class sit idle while the other is enjoying the show. The Space Science Group is not responsible for setting up these tours. Below is a sample itinerary for your day:
