For about four minutes in mid-afternoon, the day will darken into night, stars will emerge and animals will think dusk has fallen early. Solar eclipse viewing glasses will be provided for guests in attendance while supplies last. Parking is limited. Food vendors will be on site. Visitors are welcome to bring a picnic to enjoy. Weather in April in northeast Ohio is unpredictable, so please dress accordingly.
