The Schiele Museum of Natural History, at 1500 East Garrison Boulevard, Gastonia, North Carolina, is hosting a Groundhog Day Celebration, complete with a groundhog who will predict whether there will be an early spring or six more weeks of winter.

It will take place on Sunday, February 1, 2026, a day before the official Groundhog Day.

At the celebration, meet The Schiele’s groundhog, Fig Newton, learn all about him, and watch him predict what the weather will do this season. He may also know the outcome of some other special events coming soon. Bring your questions! (Maybe he can help you with your Super Bowl bet?)

The meet and greet and prediction will take place at 2 p.m.

The Groundhog Day celebration is included as part of general admission, and you can visit the whole museum, as usual. Hours for the museum on Sunday are 1 to 5 p.m.

Tickets for The Schiele

  • Adults: $12
  • Seniors (65+): $10

  • Child (0-2): Free

Planetarium program is an additional $5.
