Please be aware, all programs are subject to change. While we make every effort to present the shows as listed on our website and in our activities calendar, we may need to substitute or cancel shows. Reasons for this may include:
  • Large Group Attendance

Our planetarium is a field trip location and schools may sell out a show. If you don’t see a specific time slot on our event calendar, it is likely due to that show being sold out.

  • Maintenance

While routine maintenance is regularly conducted outside of public hours, unforeseeable mechanical events do infrequently occur.
