Shows and Schedule

Planetarium shows are a resource for astronomy information, and keeps area residents informed about sky events and the latest discoveries.

 

Science Saturdays

They are free and no tickets are required. All ages are welcome to attend, but see the suggestions about age for a particular movie if you're unsure.

The shows begin at 5pm and 7pm. Late guests may not be allowed entrance due to the darkness of the room. It is recommended that you plan to arrive 5 min - 15 min early to guarantee a seat.

Public planetarium shows are cancelled until further notice as we work on equipment issues.

 

Private Shows

These are currently free. We can seat up to 80 people with access for up to 5 wheelchairs. Private shows typically start with a Sky Tour followed by a full dome movie. Options afterwards include telescopes for viewing celestial objects, and/or a question and answer session with a professional astrophysicist. Those interested in a private show should contact us for more information. Please plan to book several months in advance due to the popularity of the private shows.
