ASTRONOMY PROGRAM SCHEDULE

On average Bryce Canyon offers an astronomy program 104 nights per year! But the best time to come is when we are darkest -- during a new moon or the week prior to the new moon. 

WINTER (Nov. thru 2nd Sat. in March): EVERY Sat. @ 7:00pm 


All astronomy programs are followed by stargazing with telescopes (weather permitting). NOTE: Multimedia Programs are NEVER canceled due to bad weather. Only the stargazing half of the evening may be subject to weather related cancellations.
