Gateway to the Stars
Look up for the greatest show on earth!
Experience the wonder of Elk Island’s night sky! In the heart of the Beaver Hills Dark Sky Preserve, escape the city bustle to gaze upon the countless stars in our galaxy.
Elk Island National Park invites guests to the introductory stargazing program, Gateway to the Stars. Led by an expert park interpreter, expect to learn how to use a star chart, how to use constellations for navigation, and listen to cultural stories about the beautiful lights that brighten up our night sky.
This program will be enjoyed in the outdoors while seated around a cozy campfire. Bring your headlamps, warm clothes, and get ready to take in the grand prairie skies!
