Drive-In Astronomy Night

Settle into your car for an evening under the stars led by a naturalist guide. You'll explore fascinating facts about our night sky—discover what light-years are, find out why stars twinkle, and learn how to spot planets, constellations, and other celestial objects. Just like a classic drive-in movie experience, you can enjoy popcorn while tuning into the presentation through your car radio. If skies are clear after the talk wraps up, you'll have a chance to look through telescopes and see what's actually visible overhead that night. Come early to snag a good parking spot! This program welcomes all ages and works well for families, older adults, and anyone curious about astronomy. The event runs about 90 minutes. In case of rain or threatening weather, the program moves indoors so your family won't miss out. For questions before the event, reach out to the Nature Realm Visitors Center at 330-865-8065 (they're open Wednesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday, noon to 5 p.m.).
