Field Trip Requests

We offer local schools the opportunity for field trips on Fridays during the academic year.  We can fashion a presentation based on your curricular needs.  The ideal group size for our planetarium shows is 80, but we're happy to work with larger groups by either splitting into two shows and offering alternative presentations, such as physics demonstrations, to accommodate everyone.

Upcoming Public Shows

We offer shows to the public free of cost.

Upcoming Shows:

We will have a planetarium show at 8 PM on Thursday, April 30th.  Weather permitting, we will then go to the Observatory where we will have an open house starting at about 9 PM.
