Land Between The Lakes (LBL) National Recreation Area begins its 2008 operations on Saturday, March 1, by opening several popular visitor attractions. The Homeplace and Woodlands Nature Station will be open Wednesday through Sunday during March, and then open seven days a week beginning April 1. The Golden Pond Planetarium and North & South Welcome Stations also open their doors March 1, along with Hillman Ferry, Piney, and Energy Lake Campgrounds. The Elk & Bison Prairie remains open from dawn until dusk every day, year-round. The Golden Pond Visitor Center, Wranglers Campground, and Turkey Bay Off-Highway Vehicle Area remain open year-round as well. “At LBL the spring season brings new opportunity for environmental education. We are excited about the programs we have planned for 2008, such as the Spring Break Programs and Girl Scouts Day at the Nature Station as it is an excellent way for children to connect with the natural world,” stated Sharon Waltrip, Environmental Education Program Manager. “Our facilities provide opportunities for hands-on learning, and encourage visitors to explore and experience nature and history.” The Golden Pond Planetarium, open daily beginning March 1, provides a full dome viewing experience with digital multimedia equipment. Two shows added this year include Far Out Space Places and Explorers of the International Space Station. Far Out Space Places takes you on a virtual visit to the most extreme destination in our cosmic neighborhood. Explorers of the International Space Station lets you visualize what its like to live on the space station, as well as learn about the important scientific work taking place. Returning to the planetarium in 2008 will be Blown Away, Search for Life in the Universe, and Kentucky Skies. LBL’s spring calendar is full of a variety of fun programs for visitors of all ages and interests. The popular Discount Package, which offers a 25% discount on admission to multiple attractions, will be available again this year, as well as the LBL Fun Card, a discount opportunity that primarily benefits area residents and others who frequent LBL. The LBL Fun Card provides your choice of 10 admissions to The Homeplace, Nature Station, Planetarium, or a combination of all three. With no expiration date, the LBL Fun Card is good until all 10 visits have been used. LBL honors the National Parks and Federal Recreation Lands Access and Senior Passes along with the Golden Age and Access Passports. In addition to the 50% discount offered for the basic campsites, the Passes and Passports will also be honored at The Homeplace, Nature Station, and Golden Pond Planetarium for 50% off general admission for the card holder.
