Star clusters are amazing objects to view in the night sky. With just a pair of binoculars, you can go from the black of space to groups of hundreds of stars. Our naturalists will point out their favorites, as well as other objects you can't see from the city. Ages 6 years + with an adult. (Younger children are welcome with their family but the program content is geared for kids ages 6 years + and adults.) Please dress to be outside, at night, in winter standing still while looking at the stars. Dress in warm layers. Hand & foot warmers are recommended. Please bring a flashlight. Feel free to bring your own binoculars and/or telescope. We also recommend chairs, snacks, water, hot chocolate, etc. You will meet the naturalist in the main parking lot of Hildebrand Ranch Park. This program will involve little to no hiking.
