Solar eclipse glasses are one option, but it's important to make sure they meet manufacturing standard ISO 12312-2. There are a couple different ways you can safely view the eclipse. You can make your own pinhole projector at home or in Thinker Space at Discovery Place Science every weekend leading up to the eclipse.
