Night at the Arboretum - 1

A family enjoys looking through a telescope at Night at the Arboretum

Join us at the Arboretum for a special evening leading up to a total lunar eclipse. While the full eclipse won't happen until later in the evening, we'll be checking out the early night sky with powerful telescopes from the Kansas City Astronomical Society. It's the perfect way to prepare for the moon's transformation into a stunning red hue as it passes through Earth's shadow.

Operation Wildlife will be on-site with some of their incredible rescue birds, including hawks you may not have encountered before like the broad-winged hawk and the rough-legged hawk.

This year, we’re adding even more ways to shine! Join us for a Glow Hike at 5 p.m. Dress for the weather, lace up your hiking boots and meet us at the Hilltop Terrace at LongHouse. We’ll provide some glowing accessories, or you can bring your own to light up the night. Then, at 6:30 p.m., roll out your mat for Glow Yoga, a unique, illuminated session under the evening sky. Don’t miss these exciting new experiences to make your night at the Arboretum even more magical! Sign up in advance to hold your spot.

It’s all included with regular Arboretum admission.
