I spent a few years giving star talks at two other International Dark Sky Sites: Natural Bridges and Capital Reef in Utah. I also volunteered coordinating monthly star gazing parties in light polluted parking lots in Salt Lake. In one setting you could see incredible detail in distant galaxies, nebulae, our solar system's planets...in the other, you would be lucky to see a blurry planet. Bottom line: you want to preserve the rare places where children can see the wonders of the universe with just their eyes, up close and personal. It's better than TV. There is no substitute.

Here I am about 20 years ago at Flagstaff, about to look at Mars through Percival Lowell's own scope. Much as I adore the fancy instruments, let's keep some areas so free of light pollution that children may see the Milky Way using just their eyes.
