Paul Dennis Science Hall
There is no charge to visit the Science Hall.
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 shows. Reasons for this may include:
- Large Group Attendance
Our planetarium is a field trip location and schools may sell out a show.
- Maintenance
While routine maintenance is regularly conducted outside of public hours, unforseeable mechanical events do infrequently occur.
If you’re planning to see a certain show, we recommend you call our facility prior to arrival to confirm availability on the day of your visit.
In accordance with NC state mandate, we are now allowed 100% capacity in our planetarium theater. If you prefer, you may still call 910-575-0033 on the day of your visit to reserve your seats over the phone.
Mask Policy
Effective February 24, 2022: In accordance with the latest CDC guidance and Gov. Cooper’s recommendation, fully vaccinated visitors are not required to wear a mask or face covering. For the safety of our staff and guests, face coverings are still recommended for unvaccinated visitors.
