So sit back, relax, and enjoy 360° views of celestial environments, thanks to an impressive fisheye projector lens. You will be able to travel throughout the solar system, and discover the universe, without ever leaving the dome planetarium, as you experience informative, enthralling presentations on stargazing, space exploration, natural history and light pollution.

Planetarium shows are suited for participants ages 4+. We apologize but we are unable to accommodate children 0-3 years old, as planetarium shows are often stimulating environments which little ones may find overwhelming, and we wish to minimize any disruptions to other guests. All children must be accompanied by an adult. Please note that telescopes are NOT part of the planetarium show.

Planetarium shows start promptly and the doors will be closed at that time; latecomers will not be permitted to enter the facility once the show has started. As such, we recommend that you arrive 5-10 minutes before the show starts.
