Total Eclipse of the Heart of it All

You can also get ready for a totality awesome time with Ohio State Parks!

Come early and stay late to enjoy a weekend full of programs and activities at parks around the state. Participate in eclipse science programs to learn about different types of eclipses, the significance of the 2024 eclipse, safe viewing methods, and to make pinhole viewers or other crafts. Evening hikes and owl prowls will open your eyes to nocturnal wonders as you explore the parks after dark. Select parks will introduce you to park wildlife ambassadors that may include reptiles, amphibians, and birds through animal encounters and feedings; others will offer a close-up look at animal artifacts like skins, skulls, and scat. Parks with Nature Centers will offer drop-in hours, throughout the weekend. Many parks will offer an archery experience, and some will feature movies in the campground.

Individual program schedules vary by park. See the ODNR events calendar for an up-to-date list of eclipse-related activities to enjoy at Ohio’s State Parks.
