Science North 2025 Star Parties

On three dates this Summer, Science North is offering two options for

As on clear nights in the past, Guests can arrive as darkness
approaches (9:00 PM – 10:00 PM) while staff and volunteers from the

The new option includes indoor Star Party Programming at 9:00 PM
inside Science North whatever the weather, with admission by

Star Party on the Patio). See Details at <sciencenorth.ca>
