With 95% totality expected in Chicago, what better place to watch the eclipse than with park rangers and a NASA Ambassador at Chicago's first National Park unit: Pullman National Historical Park? The event features local NASA Ambassador Mark Benson, who will be on hand to answer questions and offer guidance on viewing the eclipse. In the Chicago area, the eclipse begins at 12:51pm as the moon moves between the sun and the earth. The height of the event will be at 2:08pm.

Enjoy eclipse-themed snacks, snap a photo in our selfie station, and partake in hands-on activities. This event is free. Bring a lawn chair and approved solar viewing glasses (a limited number of glasses will be available).
