Public Observing at Fox Park Observatory

Come join us at the Fox Park Observatory at the Fox Memorial Park in Potterville, MI! The observatory hosts over a dozen telescopes for viewing and photographing the night sky. Here you can see amazing close-up views of the Moon, Saturn's Rings, Jupiter and its moons, as well as other planets, comets, stars, and some deep sky objects like galaxies and nebulae! We guarantee you'll have a great time whether you are an expert astronomer, a novice, or someone just curious.
Fox Park is conveniently located just 20 minutes from downtown Lansing and is a great place to spend an evening outdoors and under the stars.
