Join us for the 2024 Total Eclipse!

On Monday, April 8th 2024, north west San Antonio will be a prime spot for a rare celestial event - a TOTAL Solar Eclipse! The last total eclipse visible in San Antonio was 1397, and the next visible one in the United States will be in 2044! This eclipse will begin with a PARTIAL Phase around 12:14pm and last through the eclipse, with the TOTALITY taking place around 1:33pm.

Stop by our table in the Open Play Fields to learn a little about the park, and how to view the eclipse safely. We'll also have solar viewing glasses available leading up to the main event while supplies last, between 11am and 3pm or until we run out. Everybody is welcome!

Eye Safety is the most important thing to consider. Viewers need to only use certified eye protection, or view the eclipse through a pinhole viewing box, or through the shadows cast on the ground. NEVER look directly at the sun, not even for an eclipse! Eclipse glasses will be provided by the park until supplies last. You can learn more about the eclipse here: https://science.nasa.gov/eclipses/future-eclipses/eclipse-2024/ or here: https://eclipse.aas.org/

Note: Parking and supplies are limited.
