Show times are at 11am,12pm, and 1pm. The planetarium features short film documentaries that explore topics across space and science in visually stunning ways.
Starry Night
Once a month during Starry Night we open the The Kitty and Max Joyner Observatory to the public.
Each Starry Night starts off with a tour of the night sky in the planetarium to find the prominent planets, constellations, and deep space objects available that evening. Then, we head to the observatory so you can see the wonders of the night sky with our own eyes.
