Shenandoah National Park
or Virginia Beach, Virginia
While
Virginia may not be known for its stargazing opportunities, it really should
be! From its westernly Shenandoah National Park to its coastal Virginia Beach,
the state offers plenty of opportunities for stargazing for both avid
astronomers and newbies just looking for a beautiful night sky.
The
wide sandy Virginia Beach is home to its very own astronomy association and
offers nearby experiences like a night sky boat tour, an accessible Boardwalk
Astronomy program, the Virginia Beach Planetarium and a fun tour led by a local
astronomer called The Nature Bus: The Night Sky, a four-hour tour held at the Back Bay
National Wildlife Refuge.
In Shenandoah National Park, families can
enjoy ranger-led programs in the national park, like the Night Sky Festival,
and continue their stargazing adventures by staying at nearby Massanutten Resort.
