Events

                                 Come explore the cosmos with us at TLC’s Three Bears Private Preserve in Creedmoor!

Come explore the cosmos with us at Triangle Land Conservancy’s Three Bears Private Preserve in Creedmoor! Travel on a hike through the solar system to get to our stargazing site. When you are done dodging asteroids and learning about the planets, take a pit stop at each of our activity tables. During the activities you will explore the wonders of our solar system, learn star stories, and uncover how astronomy inspires and benefits everyone, every day! When dark begins to fall, we will play some nighttime games and end with an opportunity to look through real telescopes provided by the Raleigh Astronomy Club! We are excited to have Travelin’ Tom’s join us to provide warm beverages for purchase.

 This is a free event, but pre-registration is required. Accessible indoor toilets will be available onsite, and the event will take place along gravel paths and a large grassy field. This is a completely outdoor event, and we suggest you bring chairs and blankets, extra layers to keep warm, and a few snacks and a water bottle. We can’t wait to see you among the stars at our Three Bears Preserve!  

Come join us for our astronomical series: Friday Under the Stars!

Raleigh Astronomy Club will be hosting a monthly night sky viewing session at one of our private sites that will only be open for this event. The old site for Three Bears Acres will be the perfect location for star viewing fun so bring a blanket or chair and we will see you there!

Because this is a private preserve, we ask that you leave furry friends at home. We suggest that you bring a picnic blanket or chair to stargaze in, a red flashlight, warm layers, and snacks and a water bottle. Please remember to pack anything that you bring in, back out with you and we can’t wait to see you amongst the stars! This is a free event, but preregistration is required. Make sure to save your spot below!

Rain Date Plan if Needed: We have set the following Saturday as the rain date to ensure that we will have the best viewing chances possible. If any changes are made to the dates, we will contact everyone by email by lunchtime on Friday using the 24 hour cloud cover predictions to make the best call that we can.

Current Mask Policy: TLC seeks to build a supportive, mask-friendly environment in all collaborations with staff and the public. Please wear a mask if you are not vaccinated, or if that makes you feel most comfortable. We also encourage those eligible to be vaccinated to get their Covid-19 vaccine and booster shot. If you are experiencing any Covid-related symptoms, please stay home and attend a program another day. Our top priority is to create a safe environment for our community. Thank you for your understanding.
