# Event Details - **Event Name**: NIGHT SKY EXPERIENCE in the FAKAHATCHEE PRESERVE - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 11 Oct, 2025 at 07:00 pm – Sat, 02 May, 2026 at 10:45 pm (-04:00) - **Event Description**: Come join us for a magical evening under a blanket of stars in the Fakahatchee Preserve.About this EventWhile the Fakahatchee is famous for the flora and fauna, few visitors get to experience another feature of the Preserve—its dark nighttime sky.The Preserve’s remote location limits light pollution from manmade sources, making it possible to observe stars, planets and other wonders of the heavens that are not visible in or near a city.We are offering dark sky access to experts and amateurs, as well as everyone who just want to gaze the millions of stars.This program offers participants the chance to experience and photograph the nighttime sky in one of the darkest places in southwest Florida. Your guide, an amateur photographer and astronomer, schedules each program when there is an interesting formation of planets and stars over the Preserve. Expensive telescope or camera to enjoy these sessions are not required , bring them if you have them—binoculars and cellphones are fine.Photography enthusiasts are advised to plan photography or telescope activities in advance and will have the opportunity to work on their own interests during the session. We highly recommend the use of apps such as Photo Pills or Stellarium, each are available on the Apple and Android App stores.The evening will take place on Janes Scenic Drive unpaved road, at a short five minute walk to the location where you will spend the evening. Note that the park will be closed to the general public at sundown, providing participants a quiet evening. Arrival instructions will be e-mailed to participants the day before the Night Sky session.CAUTION: The ONLY access to Janes Scenic Drive is Via Route 29. DO NOT rely on GPS or Google Map info which will show other routes that were closed a long time ago. If driving I-75 take Exit 80.Link to Park map https://orchidswamp.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Fakahatchee-Preserve-map-July-2021-1.pdf - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/copeland/night-sky-experience-in-the-fakahatchee-preserve/100001669646831619 - **Event Categories**: - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket URL**: https://consumer.pxf.io/c/1339408/3151484/39691?partnerpropertyid=1191892&MediaPartnerPropertyId=1191892&svlink=14105511&level=1&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eventbrite.com%2Fe%2Fnight-sky-experience-in-the-fakahatchee-preserve-tickets-1669646831619 - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 39.19, max: 39.19, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Copeland - **state**: FL - **country**: United States - **location**: 137 Coast Line Dr Copeland FL 34137 - **lat**: 25.9513079 - **long**: -81.36036030000002 - **full address**: 137 Coast Line Dr Copeland FL 34137, 137 Coastline drive Copeland FL 34137, Copeland, United States ## Event Organizer details - **affiliate_id**: 10 - **organizer**: Friends of Fakahatchee (https://allevents.in/org/friends-of-fakahatchee/22602026) ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: banner - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/2982df20dd0285703caed2c9fca66cb7444d88db3cbf7c72a6c395c566626abc-rimg-w1200-h800-dc111008-gmir.jpg?v=1757228513 - **Alt text**: thumbnail - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/d9c94a3c65aaecdc98f74e2ec660b452f86dfb9441ad1daf40df95fa4b39405c-rimg-w400-h400-dc101007-gmir.jpg?v=1757228512 ## FAQs - **Q**: When is the event happening? - **A:** Sat, 11 Oct, 2025 at 07:00 pm (-04:00) - **Q**: Where is the event happening? - **A:** 137 Coast Line Dr Copeland FL 34137, 137 Coastline drive Copeland FL 34137, Copeland, United States - **Q**: What is the ticket price? - **A:** starting from 39.19 up to 39.19 USD - **Q**: Who is organizing the event? - **A:** Friends of Fakahatchee - **Q**: What type of event is this? - **Q**: Where can I find ticket details about NIGHT SKY EXPERIENCE in the FAKAHATCHEE PRESERVE ? - **A:** You can find ticket details about this event on AllEvents. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "NIGHT SKY EXPERIENCE in the FAKAHATCHEE PRESERVE", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/2982df20dd0285703caed2c9fca66cb7444d88db3cbf7c72a6c395c566626abc-rimg-w1200-h800-dc111008-gmir.jpg?v=1757228513", "startDate": "2025-10-11T19:00:00-04:00", "endDate": "2026-05-02T22:45:00-04:00", "url": "https://allevents.in/copeland/night-sky-experience-in-the-fakahatchee-preserve/100001669646831619", "eventStatus": "https://schema.org/EventScheduled", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "137 Coast Line Dr Copeland FL 34137", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "137 Coastline drive Copeland FL 34137", "postalCode": "34137", "addressLocality": "Copeland", "addressRegion": "FL", "addressCountry": "US" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "25.9513079", "longitude": "-81.36036030000002" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "Come join us for a magical evening under a blanket of stars in the Fakahatchee Preserve.", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2025-09-07", "availabilityEnds": "2026-05-02T22:45:00-04:00", "validFrom": "2025-09-07", "lowPrice": "39.19", "highPrice": "39.19", "price": "39.19", "url": "https://allevents.in/copeland/night-sky-experience-in-the-fakahatchee-preserve/100001669646831619" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2025-09-07", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2025-09-07", "url": "https://allevents.in/copeland/night-sky-experience-in-the-fakahatchee-preserve/100001669646831619", "price": "39.19", "name": "Generral admission" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Friends of Fakahatchee", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/friends-of-fakahatchee/22602026", "description": "This site features the officialnot for profitFriends of Fakahatchee sponsored swamp walks, tram tours, boardwalk tours, evening programs and more...by participating you help support the largest State Park in Florida.Friends of Fakahatchee is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit Citizen Support Operation.  It provides financial and volunteer support to preserve the unique ecology and cultural heritage of Fakahatchee Strand Preserve State Park and to educate the public about its importance.For questions or to arrange group tours of 10 or more call 239.695.1023 and a volunteer will return your call.For a map of the Fakahatche Preserve : https://orchidswamp.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Fakahatchee-Preserve-map-July-2021-1.pdf" } ] } ] ```
