To mark this exciting event, the Arboretum is partnering with the Institute for Global Environmental Strategies to include you in special eclipse day activities for all ages!
Receive a pair of complementary NASA eclipse glasses to safely view the eclipse!
Watch a livestream broadcast from the path of totality featuring telescope views and NASA and Exploratorium scientists and educators!
