Mayland Earth to Sky Park

The Mayland Earth to Sky Park is an environmental educational park offering unique opportunities to learn about the natural world, from the earth to the sky. We are proud to have an observatory and planetarium within the park. We are an International Dark Sky Park and the grounds are open to the public with 24-hour access to the parking area for stargazing. Access to the telescopes in the observatory building is only open for ticketed events. Observatory tickets are required to be purchased in advance through Eventbrite. The Glenn and Carol Arthur Planetarium has a 36 ft projection dome which hosts weekly shows – from traditional astronomy to STEM related programs. The Bare Dark Sky Observatory is home to the “Sam Scope”, a 34” Newtonian telescope offering exceptional views of the cosmos. Community Viewing Nights are held monthly.
