Keystone Ancient Forest Star Night

Join us for an unforgettable evening under the stars at Keystone Ancient Forest!

The Astronomy Club of Tulsa will set up telescopes in this beautiful 1,380-acre nature preserve northwest of Sand Springs for an opportunity to explore fascinating objects in the night sky. Weather permitting, guests can enjoy views of the Moon, Saturn and its rings, star clusters, nebulae, the Milky Way, and more.

As summer constellations begin to move toward the western horizon, autumn skies bring new celestial sights into view, including the Andromeda Galaxy.

Telescopes will be set up in the parking area near the park entrance after the preserve’s regular hours. Please arrive early enough to enjoy the evening, as all guests must exit the park when the gates are locked at 10:00 p.m.
