Stargazing in the Wild

Join us for our first public event at our newly constructed hilltop Stargazing & Wildlife Viewing platform! Escape the light pollution of town to enjoy the darker skies over Darlington from our great vantage point with a 180 degree view of the horizon. Our friends with the Harford Astronomical Society will have a handful of telescopes and expert astronomers to guide you through a tour of the visible night sky while we discuss and hopefully discover some nocturnal wildlife.

Since we had to reschedule from our May the 4th (Star Wars Day) date and we will be looking towards galaxies far, far away, feel free to dress as your favorite character, show off your favorite Star Wars gear, and look out for a few Star Wars themed surprises.

** This event is weather dependent since we need clear skies. If we cancel it will be rescheduled for the following month to ensure the proper moon phase and position to allow for adequate viewing of astronomical elements.

** Event is limited due to size of platform and availability of telescopes.

** Tickets prices are $10 for each adult and $5 per child, first come first served.

** We will meet at our the parking area in front of our barn classroom at 8:30pm and hike up to the hillside platform together. Parking is limited so please carpool if possible.

** The Susquehannock Wildlife Center property is not yet open to the public and is only open for special events such as this one at this time.
