Mudpuppy Palace

Mudpuppy Palace Mudpuppy Palace is a nature-based learning center and natural playscape coming to Mt. Vernon, IN. Mudpuppy Palace is excited to be in negotiations to join Mt.

Mudpuppy Palace is a registered 501-(c)(3) non-profit organization. Vernon, Indiana within the next year. Founded by two Mt. Vernon natives, it will be a unique learning center for ALL ages. Named after Indiana's native salamander - the Mudpuppy, our mission is to support young learners through natural play and outdoor exploration. Similar to a children's museum but with nature center components, the Mudpuppy Palace campus will have both indoor and outdoor facilities with the goal of providing a safe space for anyone to explore the wonderment of nature during all weather and seasons. It will also be home to a walking trail of native plants, as well as several garden plots and an outdoor classroom pavilion. Stay tuned for more information about daily admission, camps, classes, field trips, birthday parties, facility rentals, and more!

Be sure to look up if you’re outside after dark this week!

We have a rare opportunity to see not one, but two comets, in addition to an ongoing meteor shower all on the same nights!

Here's the breakdown with info you need to know:

✅Comet C/2025 A6 LEMMON is naked eye visible. You should look on the western horizon about 30-60 minutes after sunset for best viewing. View it NOW through about October 24th.

✅The Orionids Meteor shower peaks on the evening of October 20th / morning of the 21st. You can see between 10-20 meteors per hour. There is no one set direction to look, but we recommend laying down and letting your eyes adjust to the night sky for 20 minutes to maximize viewing potential.

✅Comet C/2025 R2 SWAN is not naked eye visible. You will need a telescope or a pair of binoculars to see it. Look on the west-southwest horizon about 30-60 minutes after sunset for best viewing potential.

➡️Best night(s) to view all three will be October 19th, 20th, and 21st!
