Upcoming Planetarium Shows

  • Living Worlds

    Thu, Mar 28 2024  3:00 pm - 4:00 pm

    27 minutes

    Whether earthly or alien, all life leaves a trace. Journey through space and time to discover how life makes Earth livable, where it could be found elsewhere in the cosmos, and what new technologies we might use to find it. Along the way, you'll learn how light and color can help us spot other living worlds even from vast distances-and develop a new appreciation for the one-of-a-kind planet right beneath our feet.

    Show Begins at 3:00 PM

Took the kiddos and they loved it. Employees were nice and helpful. If your looking for something to do with the kids give this place a shot.

Fabulous and I don’t often give praise. We took our grandson and were there for hours. He loved it and so did we.

This place was great. We have kids from 8 to 1 and they all had a great time. What I really liked is most of the exhibits are hands on and that really kept them occupied.
