Late Night Hours at The Arboretum
August 11 @ 8:00 pm - 11:59 pm
Join us for an after-hours experience at Gabis Arboretum! The public is welcome to come after sunset on August 11 to view the Perseid Meteor Shower and stay to meet astrophotographer Bill Suriano from midnight to 3 a.m.
This is an unguided event.
Visitors can walk the prairie and stargaze. Gabis Arboretum has very little light pollution at night so it’s a great place to enjoy nighttime wildlife. Bring a flashlight if needed. We will have all the lights turned off to reduce light pollution.
If you need to contact a staff member while on the property at night, please call (219) 989-8492. Regular entrance fees apply.
Event Policy: This program is free. Non-members must pay an arboretum admission fee of $10 per carload for entry.
To request a disability-related accommodation, please contact the Office of Institutional Equity at oie@pnw.edu or (219) 989-2163 five days prior to the event.
