Moonrise

Come see the Full Moon appear large and reddish-orange as it rises above the horizon on this walking tour up Mont Royal.

Along the way, we'll learn some basic astronomy, how to use a telescope, and when you can predict the next Moonrise yourself.

After the Moon rises, we'll get a closer look at it with the telescope. You'll also get a photo through the telescope with your smartphone.

Open to all age and skill levels. Kids under 10 come for free!
