With seating for sixty, our 20-minutes star show offers an intimate look at the local night sky. Shows change with the season, but each is tailored for the current audience. Our educators encourage questions throughout their presentations as they demystify the stars and planets. All shows feature heavenly bodies locally visible to the unaided eye, and include current celestial events.

(Note: Children under four years of age are not admitted into the planetarium.)

    I was not too impressed with the facility. It was really really small. There were only 3 rooms. One room has like 6 live animals, the main room you probably could walk with about 20 steps or less and... Expand
    
    I was not too impressed with the facility. It was really really small. There were only 3 rooms. One room has like 6 live animals, the main room you probably could walk with about 20 steps or less and the planetarium is probably even smaller than the main room. I've been to other planetariums that had seats wrapped around the projectors and seat around 200 people. I would not recommend this place to anyone. I wasted a trip from Beale AFB just for a 5 min walk in and out of the building. Thank goodness it was military appreciation day. I would have been mad if I wasted my families money on this short trip. Collapse
