Shows are held rain or shine.
The Spitz A3P star ball projects 4000 stars onto our 24 foot diameter dome, and we can accommodate 60 people for each show.
Please Note: The planetarium does get dark during night sky simulations, please take this into account for small children. Also, there is no food or drink allowed into the theater. Cell phones must be off/silent, and please be aware there can be no "High Tech Clothing" admitted during the show as any sound and lights will interfere with other guests' enjoyment.
