Tips & Advice
- Purchase tickets in advance online, as they are required for admission and non-refundable. Ensure the name on the ticket matches the holder.
- Dress in layers and be prepared for outdoor viewing, as telescope observation is dependent on weather conditions.
- Arrive during your ticketed session time (6:00 PM or 8:30 PM) and plan to stay for the duration of that session.
- Bring your costume and mask to fully embrace the Halloween spirit of the event.
- Check the weather forecast before attending, as clear skies are needed for optimal telescope viewing, though the event proceeds regardless.
