  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
