The Eden Prairie Outdoor Center features an observatory that houses one of the largest telescopes in Minnesota. The powerful 16-inch, computer-operated commercial telescope provides clear and surreal views of celestial objects and events.
On clear nights, the observatory roof opens up and an astronomer serves as your stargazing guide. With each session, we'll explore a different topic.
On cloudy nights, we use a large screen LCD inside the Outdoor Center to take a simulated tour of the night sky and learn how to find some of the same highlights from your own backyards.
All events are rain or shine, so dress for being outside and in the weather. Children must be accompanied by a registered adult.
