Solar Eclipse "Path of Totality" Experience Day Trip to Kingston & Fort HenryPrepare to be awestruck as parts of Southern Ontario play host to an astronomical marvel on April 8, 2024 – the first total solar eclipse in nearly seven centuries!
For a fleeting moment in the afternoon, witness the magic as the Moon gracefully positions itself between the Earth and the Sun, casting a shadow across the land. This celestial spectacle, known as the "path of totality", promises a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Kingston is directly in the path of totality with Southern Ontario not graced by such cosmic theatrics again until the distant year of 2399. So seize the opportunity to be part of history as the heavens align in a breathtaking display! Our tour grants you access to the historic grounds of Fort Henry, a perfect vantage point for observing this celestial extravaganza! There will be a myriad of activities including live music, food stalls, an artisan market, and knowledgeable Fort Henry Guards stationed throughout the premises to answer your questions. Plus, savor the privilege of a premium viewing spot atop the Lower Fort Ramparts (aka Fort Henry's rooftop!), right on the shores of Lake Ontario as the eclipse unfolds before your eyes! Your safety is paramount as you gaze upon this celestial marvel. This trip package includes ISO certified solar eclipse viewing glasses to ensure your safety.
And as we make our way back to Toronto, indulge in a leisurely dining and shopping escapade at The Big Apple. Join us for an expedition beyond the ordinary, where the wonders of the cosmos await! |
