Moon Viewing
About the event
Watch the moon rise over Biscayne Bay during a peaceful evening of stargazing from the Deering Estate’s historic front lawn.
Moon Viewing takes place on select Fridays through September 17, 2027, offering after-hours access to the grounds for an outdoor experience under the night sky. Guests are invited to bring their own telescopes or binoculars, along with chairs, blankets or a picnic to enjoy with family and friends. Picnic tables in the Royal Palm Grove are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
This event is held entirely outdoors; the museums remain closed. Visitors are encouraged to bring battery-operated lanterns or flashlights—open flames and candles are not permitted. Long sleeves and comfortable clothing are recommended.
Admission is $10 per person. Tickets can be purchased in advance or at the Main Gate Ticket Booth.
Deering Estate Foundation members receive 10% off admission. Members can request the promotional code by emailing the Deering Estate Foundation office, then enter the code when completing their purchase through Park Link.
