Join us for an afternoon of all things astronomical. Astronomy Day Fair is a day of telescopes, fun in the Starlab, games, and prizes!

All children, age 6-17, attending the Fair will have their names entered in a drawing for a free telescope. The drawing will take place at 3:30 p.m. You must be present to win.

Gather your family for an afternoon of astronomy fun!
