Where to see the 2024 great American eclipse – from northern New York to southern Texas
The USA is hardly short on attractions, with the thousands of reasons to visit ranging from beautiful coastlines and incredible national parks to fascinating cities and historic towns.
Whether you prefer theme parks, sports matches, museums or road trips, the USA has you covered. But in 2024, a more unique attraction will briefly come to the US – the great American eclipse.
This natural phenomenon – when the moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, and completely covers the latter – is happening on 8 April, and will not happen again over the USA until 2044, making this a particularly rare event.
It will be visible in several locations across the USA, from some of the country’s largest cities, like Dallas and Cleveland, to beautiful natural parks, tiny northern towns and amazing natural sites like Niagara Falls.
Below, we’ve rounded up a list of the best locations to travel to if you want to see the phenomenon this April.
Dallas, Texas
Dallas is one of several larger cities on the list, where eclipse-hunters will have plenty to do either side of the rare event. Those who appreciate art, the attached AT&T Performing Arts Center, and . History-lovers will appreciate the , which chronicles the life and assassination of John F. Kennedy, but for something more light-hearted, the AT&T Discovery District is the place to head for drinking and dining.
