In honor of national Astronomy Day on April 24, join local amateur astronomers for an evening of family astronomy under the dark skies of Halibut Point State Park. The universe is yours to discover!

Bring a telescope or binoculars if you have them. If you have a telescope but aren't sure how to use it, we'll show you. Learn how to read a sky map, make a sky clock and tell time by the circumpolar constellations. It’s free and fun! Meet at the Visitors Center. Dress warmly for a cool night.

Reasonable accommodations available upon advance request.
