Monthly moon viewings at Deering Estate

Moon Over Miami

The famous song that Ray Charles sang takes on new meaning when you add a telescope to the scene with a backdrop of the historic Deering Estate

Enjoying the view of the moon from the Estate’s front lawn is a recurring monthly event, but it’s also a a bring-your-own-binoculars or telescope (BYOT) magical experience, if you want it to be.

Plus, you can pack a picnic and chairs to further enjoy a relaxing evening with family and friends. A word to the wise: While breezes from the bay are common, bugs and mosquitos are still possible, so be prepared. Repellant can be your friend, too.
