Join us on Friday, April 17 from 7:30pm–9:30pm for an evening of early spring stargazing at , hosted on the beach by The Boathouse.
Guided by the team from , guests will explore stars, planets, and distant galaxies through high-powered telescopes set along the shoreline. Beginning at sunset, the evening moves from dusk into full night sky viewing. Mars and Venus appear briefly in the early hours, while Jupiter lingers longer overhead. The Big Dipper sharpens into view, and if conditions allow, the Coma Berenices cluster reveals itself.
To keep the night comfortable, complimentary hot cocoa, hot cider, cosmic brownie bites, and blankets will be available as you take in the sky above.
Turn it into a full evening with dinner at The Boathouse before or after. Space-themed films will be playing on the jumbo TV, extending the atmosphere well beyond the shoreline.
