Total Eclipse of the Heard

Turn around, bright eyes! Get ready for an unforgettable experience at the Heard Natural Science Museum & Wildlife Sanctuary. On April 8th, 2024, a total solar eclipse will be visible from our location, and we're planning an incredible event to celebrate this rare cosmic event. Join us for a day of exploration and discovery as we witness the moon completely cover the sun, plunging the world into darkness for a few brief, awe-inspiring moments. We'll guide you through the science behind the eclipse, sharing fascinating facts about this incredible phenomenon and answering your questions. You'll also have the chance to explore our beautiful sanctuary and observe the wildlife that makes their home here. Don't miss your chance to witness this event with us at the Heard Museum! Come for the eclipse or stay all day to explore - it's up to you! More information coming soon. Tickets are limited. Be sure to save your spot now.
