Planetarium

The Planetarium features a full-dome theater with a state-of-the-art digital projection system. Our mission is to educate FSU and the surrounding region about the foundations and frontiers of human knowledge. We value innovative research and discoveries that inspire wonder, curiosity, and lifelong learning. Shows and events provide an enriched understanding of our place in the Universe. Students, faculty, and staff use the Planetarium for their courses and events. Students gain valuable experience by helping with STEM outreach.
 
The Planetarium upgrade is complete!
 
The next Science Saturday is June 20th at 5pm and 7pm. More information about Science Saturdays are at the links below.
 
 
 
During the Summer Reopening of 2026 all ticket prices are waived for public shows like Science Saturdays. Instead, we ask that you fill out a brief survey before and after the show. This will help us continue to raise money and adjust our ticket prices.
