Autumn has always been associated with a bright, full
Moon. From Harvest Festivals to Halloween, the full moon brings many memories. The
brightness of the full moon often obscures stars and scare animals into hiding. The new
moon is darker, allowing us to see most of the night sky. It is also less scarier for the animals
and easier for us to view them in their habitat.
Come to Ironwoods Park to view and enjoy the night sky. Attend a night safari on our nature
path and enjoy our campfire.
The local astronomy club will give a sky tour of constellations. Light refreshments will be
provided. Rain out date October 13th. One - 3 hour session.
Activity Code 204301-1 • Min 5 Max 20 • Fee $12/Resident Discounted Fee $10
