When is the planetarium open?We are only open to the public for shows. Friday evening is our most frequent time for shows, and yet shows can be offered other times as well.
-
Do I need to sign up for a show?Most of our shows do have an online signup. We encourage signing up to ensure a seat.​ Show publicity will let you know if signing up is suggested. Reservations are held until 5 minutes after show start time. People who did not sign up are seated as space allows. Some shows and First Fridays do not require sign up - just show up. It is good to arrive before the show start time to get a good seat and let your eyes adapt to dark room.
