Neale Woods Millard Observatory — Public Stargazing Events

About This Opportunity

The Millard Observatory at Neale Woods is the largest telescope in the Omaha metro area, housed in a 600-acre woodland preserve in North Omaha. Fontenelle Forest hosts public stargazing events where naturalists use the observatory telescope to show visitors the moon, planets, and star clusters — explaining what they're seeing in plain language. Admission to the stargazing event is separate from regular Neale Woods access. The preserve itself features 7 miles of walking trails along the Missouri River. A December 2025 evening event was confirmed.
