What is a Star Party?
A Star Party is an evening of astronomical celebration, exploration, and fun. At a Star Party, you’ll find hands-on activities and demonstrations from Bell educators and community partners throughout the museum. If there are clear skies, you will be able to look through high-powered telescopes at astronomical objects. Additionally, there are typically free planetarium shows that are offered on a first-come-first-serve basis. Oftentimes, Star Parties have special themes or topics.
The Bell Museum is located in Saint Paul, at 2088 Larpenteur Avenue West.

My kids are growing up and no longer interested in parks or pools. I heard Thrifty MN is fun & affordable for the whole family.
