SUMMARY:The 2024 Great American Eclipse Viewing at Branched Oak Observatory
DESCRIPTION:In collaboration with the Nebraska Science Festival\, we are pleased to offer “The 2024 Great American Eclipse Viewing at Branched Oak Observatory.” \nSome people go an entire lifetime and do not have a chance to see a single Solar Eclipse. Here in the United States\, we have had the opportunity to see THREE spectacular solar eclipses within just a seven-year time period; the Total Solar Eclipse here in Nebraska in 2017\, The Annular Eclipse (“Partial” in NE) in 2023\, and this year another Total Solar Eclipse (“Partial” in NE) on April 8th. \nAlthough you can view the Partial Solar Eclipse anywhere in the state\, we invite the community out to Branched Oak Observatory for a unique chance to see the eclipse “up close” through our amazing safe solar telescopes. Not only will you get to view the Partial Eclipse\, you will see Sunspots\, Solar Prominences\, Granulation\, Filaments\, and so much more on the surface of our closest star. \nNote: Solar viewing is dependent on the weather. Solar glasses will be available for FREE while supplies last. \nVisit theboo.org for more information about Branched Oak Observatory.

SUMMARY:Erth's DINOSAUR ZOO LIVE
DESCRIPTION:Erth’s DINOSAUR ZOO LIVE guides audiences on a breathtaking tour through a pre-historic world. Amazingly life-like dinosaurs and other creatures are presented in a theatrical performance brought to life by a team of skilled performers and puppeteers and designed with the help of professional paleontologists. \nThese puppets are so extraordinarily realistic you may feel the urge to run and hide – but don’t! You won’t want to miss a minute of this fun\, unique\, entertaining and educational live show. While it may indeed have been 65 million years in the making\, we think you’ll agree\, it’s well worth the wait. \n*This is a sensory inclusive performance. There will be changes to production to accommodate families with members on the autism spectrum\, or who have other sensory sensitivities\, including low house lights\, exclusion of strobe lighting\, softened sounds\, specially trained volunteers to provide audience support and quiet spaces and activity areas for families in the lobby. \nAbout the preshow Curtain Warmer\nTicketholders are invited to join us at 5:40 PM in the Orpheum Theater lobby for a preshow activity. Join the fun with dino-mite preshow activities. Color\, take pictures\, and meet a dinosaur!
