This 275-acre park in Northeast Philly just so happens to be the only state park within city limits. It's largely undeveloped and there are big, sweeping fields and meadows that will serve as a perfect spot to camp out for the big viewing.

Wadsworth Library will also be hosting a viewing party. Head there at the party’s 2 p.m. start to make an eclipse viewer, then watch the rare sight unfold outside of the library.

Live in East Falls? The local library will be live-streaming the total solar eclipse event in its meeting room’s big screen and will have “eclipse-themed snacks” on hand. You’ll also be able to make pinhole viewers if you want to step outside to see the partial solar eclipse.

Grab a picnic blanket, your safe eclipse viewing equipment, and head up to Belmont Plateau. This big green space sits high above the rest of the city in West Fairmount Park.

The Wagner Free Institute of Science will also host a viewing party: You can head out to the lawn and check out the partial eclipse or watch the NASA Eclipse Live Stream in the institute’s lecture hall. Special eclipse glasses will be provided.

Penn Treaty Park in Fishtown offers big, sweeping views back toward Center City and toward the Ben Franklin Bridge. Grab a blanket, your protective eyewear, and an Arctic Splash and enjoy the eclipse.

For 360-degree views, make the trek up to the Ben Franklin Bridge, where the pedestrian walkway offers great views up and down the Delaware River. As long as the weather holds out, no doubt this vantage point will offer some pretty epic views of the rare event.

Cira Green is the only public rooftop park in the city. While it is sandwiched between two soaring towers, it offers big views of Center City, University City, and the Schuylkill River. Astronomer Derrick Pitts of the Franklin Institute assures that if you can see the sun from your location, you’re good to go.

See the solar eclipse from one of the highest points in Philly: The One Liberty Observation Deck on the 57th floor of One Liberty Place. It’s offering a free upgrade to its “sun and stars” ticket on Sunday, August 20 and Monday, August 21, which means you can visit the spot twice within 48 hours. Upgraded Sun and Stars tickets are $19 for ages 12 and up and $13 for children.

Update: The deck will have materials for a DIY eclipse projector or you can bring you own glasses.

Over by East Passyunk, the Charles Santore Library will be hosting a solar eclipse viewing party starting at 1:30 p.m. You’ll be able to make pinhole viewers, plus learn about the effects of the sun from folks at Bartram’s Garden.

Over at Navy Yard’s campus, folks will be gathering at the Marine Parades Grounds to watch the celestial event. The event will run from 1 to 3 p.m., and all the DIY materials will be on hand to create your own solar eclipse viewer.
