We came here for a girl scout trip, I'm not sure if every program is that thorough, but it was amazing! The kids were engaged for 2 hours and couldn't stop talking about it!

I am guessing the class room time we got was extra as a part of our girl scout badge work, but it was SO engaging! All of the parents said they enjoyed the educational parts of this trip. The sticker activity and the planet size demo were so age appropriate for our 5-6 year olds. Many of our parents said this was the best girl scout badge of many that we have worked on so far!

Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience! We will be...

I also enjoyed the brief explanation of the star map and currently visible constellations - the presenter of the second show did an excellent job here. Highly...

Make sure to call before you visit. The planetarium does not allow the general public to visit the planetarium when there is a school trip & people are expected to know there are school trips in the building or will be in the building. No signs are posted eluding to this, nor is there anything on their website instructing visitors of such. Simply went in to buy a ball & toss some coins in the lobby exhibit. Been visiting here for many years & never had this be an issue until today. Very off-put by employees & management. "Most people do not visit during the day" was their reasoning. Questionable if we...
