What are the Winter hours? Thanks.
Our Winter Hours are Feb. 3 – May 20, doors open at 11:30 on Friday and Saturday!
Pink Floyd Dark Side if the Moon was a fantastic show! Thanks!
My family and I rented a house on Ocean Isle Beach the week of August 21. I was wondering if the Ingram Planetarium was planning a bus trip to South Carolina for the solar eclipse.
Michael, the planetarium doesn’t have anything planned specifically for August 21, but we are selling eclipse glasses as well as running an Eclipse 2017 show at 11:00 am this summer. The show is half-price admission and will be covering this once-in-a-lifetime event!
Are your summer hours through August 26th or September 4th?
Heidi – our summer hours are thru September 4!
I live in Wilmington. Can I order solar glasses to be mailed to me?
Hi Rachel,
Yes! We can mail you the glasses if you agree to pay for the postage
How close are you to Topsail Beach
Hi Scott – We are about a 1.5-2 hour drive from Topsail Beach! Thanks for your comment and have a great day!
Do you have any later light shows between April 1 – April 6
