Join us on Saturday, April 29th for our Spring Star Gazing (rain date is May 6th)! The night is planned as follows: 

8:00-8:30 Dakota/Lakota constellations in the visitor center theater with Ranger Gabe Yellowhawk 

8:30-10:00 Star gazing with Drs. Grau and Browning and Astrophotography with Marty Dewitt (bring your DSLR or mirrorless camera & tripod) 

This is always a relaxed event, so feel free to also bring your own telescopes or binoculars and hang out with other night sky enthusiasts. Please arrive by 8:00pm so vehicle headlights don’t negatively impact the event. 

All events are free and open to the public (including the cider, cocoa, and snacks - while supplies last). Bring layers and any questions about the cosmos you may have!
