I live in a place with very little light pollution, and I can confirm - seeing our arm of the Milky Way, stretched across the night sky, in all its glory is amazing.
I've taken many people out of the city to watch the Perseid meteor shower. You have to drive a few hours to get far enough away, so not always easy to convince people.
It's always fun creating that memory when you get one that has never seen the Milky Way. It can be an eye opening experience and I highly recommend everyone do it at least once in their life.
