Here’s what’s happening around Indy this weekend, July 25-27, 2025.
While Indianapolis doesn’t have any official dark sky sites, there are still some fantastic places nearby where families can stargaze, catch a meteor shower, or peer through a telescope at the wonders of the night sky. Whether you’re toting your own gear or hoping someone else has a telescope already set up, we’ve rounded up the best local spots to explore space with your kids.
There are many places to watch the stars on your own, but public tours and public shows at planetariums or with Astronomical experts make it so much better for kids and their adults!
