Wild Under the Stars at the Animal Park
April 20 , 5:30 pm – April 21 , 5:30 pm
With some of the darkest skies in the greater Triangle & Triad area, the Animal Park at the Conservators Center offers superb viewing conditions for astronomical events and phenomena. In the evening of Saturday, April 20, 2024, and into Sunday morning, join us in the activity Field and Green Space by our Visitors Center to view the Lyrid Meteor Shower! You’ll have an unobstructed view of the sky with opportunities to view the entire event throughout the late night and early morning. This time of year also presents excellent viewing opportunities for the Moon as well as some of the planets and many other Deep-Sky Objects—like other galaxies, nabulæ, and binary star systems—with your binoculars or telescope!
What makes this viewing party unique, however, is the company you’ll keep. Our park of over 60 animals features a large population of vocal, social carnivores including lions and wolves, as well as other vocal species like jungle cats, a coyote, and New Guinea singing dogs, who will all keep you enthralled with their chorus of howls, roars, and calls. It’s an experience unlike any other!
