Description: Join KPC for our August Unplugged Adventures, a program designed to get you and your family unplugged from the ordinary and plugged into the prairie with a series of fun, exclusive events on KPC’s preserves.

On Friday, August 12, KPC will host Meteor Madness at our Matt Cook Memorial Wildlife Viewing Platform at Warren Lake beginning at 8 PM and continuing until morning. For this special, one-night-only event, KPC will have the platform open all night so you can glimpse the famous Perseid meteor shower in the wee hours of the morning. We’ll have storytelling and s’mores promptly at 8 PM until the light of a nearly-full moon, but invite visitors to drop in at any time throughout the night and bring a sleeping bag or pad to stretch out on while staring up at the night sky. It’s sure to be a magical evening!

Registration not required. Please call 713.523.6135 or email info@katyprairie.org for more information. Please note that the meteor shower won’t be visible until the very early morning, around 3 or 4 AM.

What to wear for trips to the prairie? All participants should wear appropriate outdoor clothing, including closed-toe shoes and long pants. A long-sleeve shirt is also recommended. Be sure to dress in layers as sometimes the temperature of the prairie can change rapidly – from hot to cold and windy. Hats are great if you want to be shielded from the sun. Please bring your own water and insect repellent.
