Please be safe if you are planning to viewing the eclipse.
Most of the country and most of Kansas is not in totality. To see the total eclipse you must be at the correct location, at the correct time. The closer to the center line the longer totality will last.
Because of the incredible demand, NEKAAL can not accommodate everyone. Below are some public parks in totality as well as maps. Expect traffic, expect crowds, get there early, check the weather.
