Bill Nye 'the Science Guy' will be in Central Texas for April 8's total solar eclipse

Those of us raised in the '90s may want to pencil in Fredericksburg's Eclipse-O-Rama event next week — because Bill Nye "the Science Guy" is headed to Central Texas.

The Planetary Society — the company helmed by the 68-year-old TV personality and science educator — will host the two-day Texas Hill Country camping experience April 7-8. The fest will feature a variety of speakers, activities and food, as well as the chance to join Nye himself to watch the eclipse.

Ticketholders can expect to see a lineup of science-enthused speakers, including YouTuber Mark Rober, science educator Science Bob and Planetary Society radio host Sarah Al-Ahmed, to name a few.

Eclipse-O-Rama festival tickets run $325 per person. Each ticket covers daytime programming from Sunday through Monday night. Kids 5 and younger are free.

As with many other larger-scale events, there's some fine print: this two-day spacey soiree is only open to Planetary Society members. Not a member? You can shell out a one-time annual fee of $50 as part of your Eclipse-O-Rama registration process.

$325, April 7-8, 3319 Lower Crabapple Road, eventscloud.com .
