Event Details

Join us for Solar Eclipse activities at the GRPM! Visitors can watch live streams from partner locations in the path of totality in the Meijer Theatre with commentary from Museum staff, supported by WOOD TV8.

The Roger B. Chaffee Planetarium will offer a special eclipse day schedule of shows, and community partners will exhibit throughout the Museum to offer astronomy-themed learning activities.

Members of our planetarium team along with volunteers from the Grand Rapids Amateur Astronomical Association will host a public viewing on the Blue Bridge with solar telescopes.

Anyone planning to observe the eclipse outside should purchase protective eyewear to ensure safe viewing. The Curiosity Shop at the Museum will be selling glasses for $1.75 while supplies last. Stop by and get yours today during museum hours. Admission is not required to enter the Curiosity Shop.
