All About Astronomy at Platte River State Park
Make a constellation, use a star chart to identify seasonal stars, examine a moon globe and compare it to the moon you see in the sky and more. Use what you learn late at night as the stars become visible.
Family & Friends Stroll Through the Park
Join us for Family & Friends Stroll Through the Park, where you can enjoy the sights and sounds of nature as we take a casual stroll together. We'll gather at the shelter (by the playground) at 6:15 p.m., then set off on a leisurely walk. The full stroll covers just over a mile, but feel free to customize your adventure to suit your pace and needs. The stroll is stroller-friendly and dogs on leashes are welcome. It's a wonderful way to spend time outdoors and connect with loved ones! Bring water and your walking shoes.
