Solar Celebration!
Sat, October 14, 2023
Join us to view the rare solar eclipse happening on Saturday, Oct. 14! Drop in any time between 11am-1pm.
Learn about the sun and eclipses, try sun-inspired activities, view the eclipse through our solar viewers, and take a closer look at the sun through our telescope! All ages welcome.
Please Note: This is an annular solar eclipse, but Lockhart State Park is not in the path of annularity. Therefore, for us it will be a partial solar eclipse (~89% sun coverage).
Prepare: Dress for the weather and bring water. There is no pre-registration for this program. Just drop in!
Meet: In the picnic area of the park. If driving from park HQ, pass the pool and take your first right-hand turn into the picnic area parking lot.
Fees: This program is free with entry to the park. Regular park entrance fees are $3/adult, free for children 12 & under.
