Every year, the Naperville Astronomical Association hosts Family Night during one of our fundamentals in the summer. This year’s Family Night will be held on Tuesday, July 16th!

What can you expect during our Family Fun(damentals) Night? We will have hands-on activities for the family to share some astronomy related information. We promise your children won’t even realize they are learning during the summer, while they interact with our exhibits. We will share the constellations and illustrate the astronomical distances involved. Kids of all ages will be able to participate in hands-on activities while they learn how craters are formed, and about other astronomy related topics.
