The Interpretive Center will be open to enjoy hands-on astronomy and nocturnal-themed activities and displays with park rangers & naturalists!
⭐️ SECOND HALF: Gather behind the Interpretive Center where members of the Northern Virginia Astronomy Club (NOVAC) will orient you to the night sky and offer telescopic views of planets, galaxies, nebulae, and other wonders.
