Look through park telescopes at the wonders hidden within the Big Dipper, and catch a glimpse of the red planet Mars in the night sky. 

Embark on an amazing telescope tour under the guidance of park volunteers and staff. 

No pre-registration required. Telescopes available on a first-come, first-serve basis for the time listed. Availability is subject to staff/volunteer availability, weather conditions, and crowd size limitations.

Park programs occur on the Night Sky Public Viewing Area. Park in the gravel lot and follow the walkway next to the restrooms to the seating area. Since seating is limited, you may want to bring a chair and/or blanket

All programs will be cancelled in the event of rain or thunder.

Telescopes will not be available in the event of significant cloud-cover.

We ask that all visitors please leave pets at home. Dim lighting, large crowds and sensitive equipment do not create a pet-friendly environment.

Check the Clear Sky Chart or Astrospheric for 48-hour forecasts of cloud cover and viewing conditions.
