Maricopa County Parks and Recreation: Stargazing

Ranger Kevin for an evening of springtime stargazing!  

Clear skies permitting, we’ll be viewing a selection of objects through a portable telescope. Possibilities include planets, galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters! We’ll also identify some major constellations with a laser pointer, and hear stories connected to them. Bring your sky-related questions! Family friendly program. Restrooms and water fountains are available at the Nature Center. NO pets, please.
