Uncover the mysteries of nature's fireworks --- the stars! Explore the dark sky of Cherry Springs through a short welcome and orientation followed by telescope observing and laser guided tours!
Pre-registration is required to attend this Program and spaces are limited.
While you may still observe on your own at the park without attending a program, all visitors should arrive before dark.
Programs are conducted at the Night Sky Viewing Area. Follow the red-lit walkway from the public program parking to the seating area.
The park asks that visitors to the Night Sky programs to please leave their pets at home. Dim lighting, large crowds and sensitive equipment do not create a pet-friendly environment.
If the sky is unfavorable for stargazing, an alternative program may be held.
All programs will be cancelled in the event of rain. Visitors may want to check the Clear Sky Chart for 48-hour forecasts of cloud cover and viewing conditions.
