Exciting Planetarium News!

We are getting an upgrade! Our former projection system has been removed, and we are awaiting installation of a new state-of-the-art digital platform. During this time, full-dome shows are not available. Films are currently being presented in wide screen format on a traditional flat screen. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Planetarium Films

Our digital films showcase stunning imagery from NASA, engaging animation, and top scientific content. Public show times are listed for each film. Films may also be booked for group visits.

• Both the museum and planetarium are included in a single admission fee.
• Each film is 25-35 minutes long.
• Films are appropriate for all ages.
• Most films include sections with dynamic visuals and increased volume. If anyone in your group is sensitive, please contact us about low sensory input or alternative visit options.
