Reach for the stars at the Belle Isle Nature Center!

Visit the Belle Isle Nature Center to celebrate Statewide Astronomy Night in Detroit. Nature Center staff will lead educational activities about nighttime animal adaptations and programs that advocate for safe passage for nocturnal wildlife.

Don’t miss out on this opportunity to spend the night amongst the stars while engaging with the wildlife that calls metro Detroit home.
