The evening if June 5th the Transit of Venus was visible from our area. I took the kids downtown to the open space where the local astronomy club had a handful of telescopes set up with special filters to be able to observe the transit. It was very cool. We didn't wait in the long line for the biggest telescope because there were 5 medium size ones you could walk right up to and get pretty much the same view. We looked through 3 of the 5, Alex wanted to wait and look in all of them he thought it was so cool!
