Minnesota’s only national park was just named one of the world’s best places to look at stars (not the celebrity kind; the shining brightly, up in the sky ones).
Voyageurs National Park, just south of the Canadian border, has been named an International Dark Sky Park. Voyageurs National Park, a 218,000-acre oasis mostly on the water and joins a list of more than 80 places around the world that have been recognized by the International Dark Sky Association (IDA).
That means it’s a great place to stargaze because there’s hardly any light pollution. Other spots already on the best stargazing list: Glacier National Park in Montana, the Grand Canyon in Arizona, and the island of Kozushima in Japan. You can see the park’s Instagram by clicking here!
