Around 7:30 pm the group returns to the pier, where astronomers from the Bucks-Mont Astronomical Association set up telescopes for a look at the moon. The whole program lasts two and a half hours including stops. All children must be accompanied by an adult, and pets should stay home because of the telescopes. Bring water, sturdy shoes and a flashlight or headlamp in case of clouds. The walk is free, but spaces are limited and registration is required; rain cancels it. ## Similar picks in Philadelphia - [Owl Prowl — Delaware Canal State Park](https://grassyknees.com/philadelphia/activities/owl-prowl-delaware-canal-state-park--listing-1b12cb9fee949679e4159ff5) — Sat, Oct 24 · 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM · Delaware Canal State Park (Upper Bucks meeting spot sent on registration), Upper Black Eddy · All ages · Free · checked Oct 24.
