The Monday evening presentation is geared toward children ages 5 to 9. The planetarium will show “Moon Witch” and “Cardboard Rocket.”
The Tuesday evening presentation is suitable for older children (4th grade and up) and adults. The shows are “Hubble Vision” and “Wonders of the Universe.”
The planetarium features a Digistar 4 projection system and a dome that is tilted slightly, rather than directly overhead, making viewing easier. A 17-channel stereo sound system enhances the viewing experience.
