Join us as we gather to view an ALMOST total solar eclipse. In Arlington Heights, we will experience a partial eclipse with 92.6% totality. A solar eclipse occurs when the moon perfectly aligns with the sun, casting a shadow over our planet and turning day into twilight.

The solar eclipse will begin in Arlington Heights at approximately 12:51 p.m. and reach its maximum point at 2:07 P.M.

Complete activities, learn about the solar eclipse including how to view the eclipse safely, and take a photo at our photo station. In case of inclement weather, watch a live feed of the eclipse and do activities in the Hendrickson Room. 

Intended for All Ages
