Gateway to the Stars for National Kids to Parks Day
*The event has already taken place on this date: Sat, 05/18/2019
The stars may be light-years away, but you can get a close-up to peek at them on May 18 when Gateway Arch National Park hosts special stargazing experience. From 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm in the Museum at the Gateway Arch, visitors can earn a unique “Night Skies” patch with a National Park Service Ranger, take a selfie in the star-studded photo booth, and explore the constellations with the flight crew from the Challenger Learning Center. Tally ho! Nature Cat will be at the Park to celebrate National Kids to Parks Day.
