Description
The Park’s Sky Ranger will discuss where, when, and how to safely view the upcoming April 8 solar eclipse. The path of totality will cut across the United States from southwest to northeast, passing less than 30 miles from the Park. The group will then complete selected activities in the Eclipse Explorer booklet, earning a special badge. This program is recommended for children aged 4-13 and their families. Free eclipse glasses will be available.
