Maricopa County Parks and Recreation: Stargazing
September 13, 2025 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Free with Park Fee
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 own chairs if you would like to sit, and bring your sky-related questions! Family-friendly program. Restrooms are available nearby, but please bring plenty of water. NO pets, please.
