Watch the solar eclipse from the dramatic setting of the flight deck of the legendary aircraft carrier, USS Intrepid. Families can learn more about this cosmic phenomenon from knowledgeable museum educators as they explore the science of eclipses against the stunning backdrop of the New York City skyline and the Hudson River.

The eclipse will begin around 2pm ET, with 89% totality for New York City set to occur at 3:25pm ET. Commemorative eclipse glasses are provided to Museum guests at no additional cost during their visit, with 6,000 glasses available for distribution.

Due to capacity constraints, access to the flight deck for viewing will be on a first-come, first-served basis. Guests should arrive early to secure their spot.

Note: On April 7, the day before the eclipse, from 11am-Noon ET, take part in an online inclusive family program where participants of all abilities receive tips about safely watching the celestial event, and learn how to make simple eclipse viewers.
