Get ready to experience the once-in-a-lifetime celestial phenomenon of the total solar eclipse, occurring on Monday, April 8, 2024. This unique event will offer a viewing path that cuts through Hamilton County, Indiana, and over two of the county’s favorite parks. In conjunction with the eclipse and the unusual natural activities that will take place during the time of totality (approximately 3:06 p.m.), parks staff have planned eclipse-related activities that will be entertaining, educational and memory-making.
