Additional information and recommendations:
🧦 Warm clothing and footwear are recommended. The event will take place in the exterior of Devín Castle, in the winter months and after dark the temperature may feel low.
🚨 For the best viewing experience, please use only red light throughout the event, which will not interfere with the eye’s adjustment to darkness. After illuminating the eye with the white light of a flashlight or cell phone display, it takes at least 20 minutes for the eye to adapt to the dark again.
🔦 If you can’t get a flashlight with a red light, wrap a regular flashlight with red cellophane, red foil, or red cloth.
⚠️ This event is suitable for children aged 5 and over with a ticket purchase required.
Join us for a beautiful evening full of fascinating views of the night sky.
