Hardin Planetarium — Attraction in Bowling Green

It's great this is free for all to enjoy. Its the only free thing WKU offers its community. I've been here many times and I like it. What I don't like is that they do not give this place funds at all! WKU does not care about this building. If you go inside you will see a projector was the 90s and that's how they do the show.

If you have a question not only will he tell you the answer he will run across the planetarium pretending to be a comet just to get the point across. Absolutely incredible, if you’re ever wondering if you should go the answer is yes. We are all adults and we learned so much about star life cycles. It’s free and run by equally passionate volunteers, so it really makes you excited...
