The Bush Center assumes no responsibility for any person causing harm to themselves or others by following unsafe eclipse viewing procedures.

What time should I arrive?
This is a come and go event. Check-in will be open from 11:30 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. at the entrance to the Laura W. Bush Native Texas Park near the Bush Institute to ensure guests have ample time to pick up their eclipse glasses and move into position for the viewing.
