AAA High Line History
The AAA began its weekly observing sessions on the High Line on August 25th, 2009. We’ve gone up every week since then, except for a break during the winter months of November through March, and the inevitable cancellations due to overcast skies.

Hours
The High Line itself is open from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM starting April 1st. During the warmer months of June, July, August, and September, the park stays open until 11:00. AAA observing takes place from dusk until 15 minutes before closing. When the waxing Moon is in the evening sky, we often begin our observing sessions a little before sunset.
