Description
Join park staff to experience the solar eclipse!
On April 8th, Virginia will experience a partial solar eclipse. Anyone wanting to join us is welcome to do so! In particular on April 8th, we will have a series of programming for children throughout the day where they can explore the park and its resources. This includes our Junior Ranger Program and the Junior Ranger Solar Explorer designed for this event in conjunction with the Smithsonian!
Anyone that does the book will be given glasses to watch the eclipse and a wooden badge when they complete it!
Glasses are in limited supply, and while we will have some on hand, please make sure if you are an adult joining us with no children, we may not have enough, so please plan on bringing your own.
We look forward to seeing you on April 8th for this unique experience!
