Description:

One Ticket, Two Venues!

Start your day at Meteor Crater, where you will learn exactly what happens when a meteor strikes earth, how we look for meteors, and a special Meteor Crater tour! Also enjoy face painting, food, and science demos. Hear from local authors about meteor craters and the moon, and how the two are related.

Then head to Lowell Observatory for some more food, Mother Road beer, and the chance to hear from top Lowell researchers who work with NASA to defend our planet from potentially threatening asteroids and other space objects. End the night with telescope viewing and a special Meet An Astronomer event!

Fun interactive science demos at both locations will have you making your own meteors (and meteor craters).
