Description
Big Lagoon State Park along with the Escambia Amateur Astronomer Association invites you to spend an evening gazing at the skies!
Clear skies permitting, members of the association will set up telescopes and binoculars to capture views of the moon, planets and other celestial objects.
All participants must enter the park prior to closing time, which is at sunset. The front gates will be locked at that time. Please note: As sunset times do change throughout the year, please contact the park at 850-492-1595 ahead of time to find out when the front gates will be locked for the evening.
