Description
Join park rangers for a party under the stars!
Mammoth Cave National Park Star Party celebrates the park’s recognition as an International Dark Sky Park. Visitors are invited to enjoy the park’s exceptional quality of starry nights and a nocturnal environment that is specifically protected for its scientific, natural, educational, and public enjoyment
As the sun sets and the stars begin to emerge, join park rangers in the bus loop of the visitor center where several telescopes will be set up for night sky viewing. Park rangers will be on hand to discuss stars, planets, and other deep sky objects. Junior Ranger Night Explorer books will also be available. Local astronomers who wish to bring their personal telescopes are welcome to join the Star Party.
All Star Party activities are weather dependent and may be cancelled for hazardous weather conditions. Visit the Mammoth Cave Stargazing page for a listing of all Star Party events and learn tips on how to enjoy the night sky on your own.
