This Planetarium was built by had by the owner and he shows the passion for his place. Learned a lot about the universe by visiting.

Kovac Planetarium....a Planetarium built by the owner himself is a one of a kind place. His knowledge and passion is amazing, and we are so glad that it is being passed on! Hearing that he built it himself, one might question it compared to a big city planetarium, but have no worries, it is definitely a Gem in a small town setting!

Reluctantly went at the request of friends. Thought it was more to educate kids. Boy was I wrong. Great learning experience for young and old.Owner and creator has done a magnificent job in transforming his passion into a reality that all can enjoy.

I went to the Planetarium with my school from Denmark and it was amazing. I enjoyed his vast knowledge of the working universe.

Meet Frank: a genuine guy, creator extraordinaire, and a person with his initial greeting feels like a long lost brother! Deep in the woods he has built a planetarium like nothing I've experienced before and I've been to my share of planetariums. The hour is over and you just can't believe it, not only have you embraced his excitement but it appears this is the first time he's given this show. Well of course you know that isn't true but just a part of you believes it is true! Best money i have spent in a long time.

Visited several years ago and was amazed at the operation....all built by hand from one man's dream. Great story of the stars. Good for kids as well as adults. Better than planetariums I have seen in large cities.

Frank Kovac, step-by-step and without a blueprint, has built with his own two hands, over a ten year period, the largest mechanical globe planetarium in the world, in the middle of the woods of northern Wisconsin. The globe is tipped at a 45 degree angle, to match the latitude of where it sits. Every star was hand-painted, and every minute I spent listening to Frank enthusiastically tell the story (for who knows how many times?), I was filled with inspiration; this man accomplished the impossible, by remaining focused and resilient.The planetarium is about a 25 minute drive from Rhinelander and well worth the admission fee. You'll need to call ahead, listen to show times and then leave a message on Frank's answering machine - "reservations"- for (limited) seating inside the planetarium, for the hour-long show. It's quite an experience - and one for all ages - to hear about the building process of the planetarium, alongside the constellations, stars and galaxies.

This is a perfectly astonishing labor of love, dreamt and built by one man who as a kid was a wacky star gazer. Each star is painted in luminescent paint by hand; the whole rotates so you can see how the Northern Sky looks at any season of the year and time of night; interspersed is a wonderful talk with pictures of things such as falling meterorites, the bora aurealis or Northern lights and just marvelous relative sizes of various, planets, stars, galaxies.Do not miss this one.

We were a group of nine, ages 2 to 65, and Frank included something to elicit a "wow" from each of us. We've seen the most famous planetarium shows in the U.S., and that's what they are...shows. This was an experience, Frank adjusts his presentation depending on each day's audience.Be sure to grab a neck pillow as you enter, and you might bring along a seat cushion for a little extra comfort.
