Information

Our maximum capacity for public events is 28.  Please purchase your tickets well in advance, as our shows can sell out quickly. Tickets are not sold at the door.  Plan to arrive at least 10 minutes prior to the beginning of your show, as there is no admittance once the show begins.  Please note the acoustics of our planetarium dome are extremely sensitive, and we ask that all patrons refrain from conversing during shows.  While our events are open to all, we recommend children be of age 7 and above for public events.

Public Show Schedule

This spring and summer, we are conducting over 40 public shows. Why so many? A group of our student presenters will be traveling to Berlin, Germany for the International Planetarium Conference. Each student will offer shows to help fund their travels.

Tickets can be purchased at Griztix. 

Please join us for our fully live, interactive public shows.  Shows for this series are scheduled to last 50 minutes (exceptions are noted), and - time permitting - will feature a Q&A session at the end.
