This is a good way to spend a cold friday's night. It's very interesting to learn about the stars. If you already know a lot, you will still enjoy it. The guy who finishes the show is kind of funny.
Came with a group of 5 adults. Small atrium with some interesting things to look at before the show. The show was entertaining and great value for $4 per person. Parking is free. Highly recommend.
My Grandsons loved it! I did too! Fun place to go any time of year, especially in the Winter, when there are fewer things to do. Plus- it is educational.
Nice little planetarium with a theater similar in size to most others. Movie that was played was from the early 90s when Pluto was still a planet. Host gave a nice after-show seminar about constellations, how to find them in the night sky, and their associated historical myths.
The title says it all. How many people pass by this curious little building with the dome without ever going inside? The star shows are very inexpensive ($3.00 for adults, $2.00 for kids 12 and under, $2.50 for students and seniors); it's one of the cheapest dates on campus! After the programmed show, the astronomer on duty gives a tour of the current night sky, throwing in all sorts of trivia tidbits--and maybe some bad jokes--about the constellations and planets. There is also a small gift counter, a few displays of antique astronomy equipment, and a black-light gallery (wear something white!)
We love to come here on Friday nights. It starts the weekend on a relaxing note. Comfy seats and casual atmosphere. Plus we learn something too. Love the show after the show.
Near parking lot at the University make for a short walk. Show is better for older kids, younger kids might get bored
I've looking forward to taking the kids to the planetarium and flying through the start sky and Milky Way. That must be too old school because after a brief token find the North Star and such we were whisked on a psychedelic tumble of loopy loops that made you feel like you were falling and my kids aged 4 and 6 were all freaked out. It was too computer, too modern and not enough stars. But maybe we went on the wrong themed day as they had quite a schedule.
Lots of information in a wonderful setting. The star show was great and the Laser show very impressive.
if you are into astronomy it is fascinating; check ahead for special shows
