Saturnday & International Observe the Moon Night

Start: Saturday, September 14, 2024 7:00PM
End: Saturday, September 14, 2024 10:00PM

The ringed planet is the star of the show at this festival which will feature informative talks on Saturn, a vote on the coolest moon of Saturn, a hula-hoop (rings!) contest, face painting, food trucks, our latest museum exhibit, building tours, and night sky viewing (weather permitting). As an added bonus, this evening is also NASA’s International Observe the Moon Night and we’ll be able to join the worldwide celebration with observations of the Moon through our historic telescopes (weather permitting). There are so many activities that we’ll hold this event rain or shine! Tickets are $10 for children (5-17) or Observatory members and $15 for non-member adults. All proceeds go toward our educational outreach programs and preservation of our historic telescopes and grounds. Pre-registration is available, but walk-ins are welcome.
