The Night Sky

The wonders of the universe are ready to be discovered, and New York City parks are the perfect place to stargaze and explore the night sky. Our Urban Park Rangers will be your guides to the solar system as they discuss the science, history, and folklore of the universe. Astronomy is consistently rated as a favorite science topic for children and our programs are the perfect gateway for furthering science education. Fall and winter are the best times to observe meteor showers, the phases of the moon, and many planets of the Milky Way.

All necessary equipment will be provided.

Programs are best enjoyed on clear nights, so please call ahead if weather conditions are poor.
