Solar Eclipse Twin Cities 2017: Mall Of America Has Safe Space To Watch

You don’t need special eye wear to view the historic solar eclipse at Crayola Experience – but you can craft a pair, if you’d like. The Mall of America attraction will provide a safe and colorful space for families to gather and view NASA’s live feed of the celestial occurrence from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday.

A portion of Art Alive will become a Solar Cinema, complete with glow merchandise and a popcorn cart. Additionally, kids can craft their own honorary eclipse glasses, create a retractable telescope and even see their coloring creation bask in the glow of the eclipse at Color Magic.

Regular admission to Crayola Experience is $19.99 at the door or $17.99 online, according to a news release. Children under 3 are free. For tickets and info, go to CrayolaExperience.com
