Evening comes early in November, giving us a chance to do some night sky gazing. Tonight's waxing crescent Moon makes for a darker night for better star visibility. Let's take an evening walk to the Labyrinth to look for Cassiopeia and Perseus in the north-northeastern skies! Cloudy night? We'll use an app to see what's up beyond the clouds.

Matthaei Botanical Gardens hosts free guided Wonder Walks on select Wednesdays and Sundays throughout the season, with occasional additional walks and special-topic programs offered on other days. Walk themes, times, and formats may vary.

Wonder Walks are designed for all ages to inspire curiosity and learning from each other through activities that encourage observation, exploration, and connection with nature. If we have a sizeable mixed-age group, we may split into two groups to deliver the same content at different engagement levels.

Wednesday walks begin at 5:00 pm. Sunday walks begin at 1:00 pm unless otherwise noted. We recommend gathering in the lobby at Matthaei Botanical Gardens about 10 minutes before the start.
