Rey Center Sky Watch

The Reys (authors of the Curious George children's books) chose Waterville Valley as their summer home because they loved the dark night sky. Join us for our monthly stargazing night at the H.A. Rey Observatory located behind the Curious George Cottage to observe the stars just like H.A. Rey used to do. Telescopes will be set up and knowledgeable volunteers from both the Rey Center and the New Hampshire Astronomical Society will be your guide. "The Stars" and "Find the Constellations", two books about astronomy written by H.A. Rey, will be available to purchase. Bring warm layers to wear and binoculars if you have them. This program is designed for all members of the general public who enjoy looking up and is appropriate for ages 4 to 104. Skywatch is weather dependent. For day of event confirmation please call (603) 236-3308.
