As the leaves fall to the ground and the sun sets earlier each day, the night sky illuminates with constellations, planets, and meteors more easily seen during the colder months. Join an Ijams naturalist to discover the secrets of the night sky, walking around the Nature Center after dark while learning the mythology and science of the stars. Hot chocolate and tea included!
This program is held outdoors in its entirety; please dress for the frigid temperatures! Gloves, hats, and warm drinks (if you want something besides hot chocolate or tea) are encouraged!
Ages: This program is designed for ages 16+. Anyone under the age of 18 MUST be accompanied by an adult.
