Every moon tells a story of tides, time and seasonal changes. Join us across Will County for full moon nights throughout 2026 and discover where science and wonder meet beneath the glow of the moon!

Our Full Moon: Family Bonfire at Prairie Bluff will feature panoramic views of the night sky at the open prairie space with s’mores and fireside trivia, facts and stories about the moon. Get cozy with your family and bring camp chairs and blankets or warm beverages to sit by the fire and enjoy the sights and sounds of the winter night while we revel at the moon.

This program is part of our full moon program series. Other program dates and locations are as follows:
Jan. 2 at O’Hara Woods
