What is the significance of the spring equinox?

During the equinox, both halves of the Earth are receiving the sun's rays equally. In the Northern Hemisphere, the spring equinox officially brings winter to an end and kicks off spring!

The night sky and the cosmos have been a source of inspiration and amazement throughout human history. Join us for an evening at Pleasant Hill and explore the starry sky! On this gentle hike through the Preserve, take in the wonders of the prairie and forest at night while learning about some of the mysteries and curiosities of the universe. Along the way, we will identify and observe constellations while exploring the cultural and scientific importance of the spring equinox.

Cost:
Annual Passholder: $5
Non-Annual Passholder: $10

Participants should meet at the Welcome Center by 7:15 pm. All participants should bring flashlights to assist in returning to vehicles or rooms at the conclusion of the evening.
