Full Moon Hikes

Explore the Arboretum under the glow of the full moon during these special after-hours events that invite visitors to explore astronomy and the natural world.

During the winter months, snowshoes are available to rent so visitors can explore winter trails and find the best moon-viewing spots before warming up around a bonfire and roasting a marshmallow. Visitors can also purchase beverages from the cash bar. Please note these events are held rain or shine!

Accessibility 
Please note that routes for Full Moon Hikes aren’t always on paved paths or wheelchair accessible. However, we are more than willing to talk through options and make accommodations if possible. Accessible parking is available per special request. Please reach out to Wendy Composto directly at [email protected] to discuss accessibility options for you and/or your guest(s).
